And the quilt? Trust me, it's needed somewhere. Whether it's a PADS site for homeless where they are always short blankets or a domestic violence shelter or other needs. There are people who just need warm. Or worst case... give it to an animal shelter for their dogs to lie on in their cages. They're definitely color blind, right? :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-89346190448109328602012-01-21T17:47:38.502-08:002012-01-21T17:47:38.502-08:00I'm chiming in with what so many of the others...I'm chiming in with what so many of the others have said.

It will be passed on to one of my daughters as a testament of sheer willpower to continue on with something that you know is not turning out very well at all. Because of the different types of yarn, it has shrunk in some places and stretched in others.

Give it some time, and perhaps take it to a fabric store for a suggestion from 'someone who knows' for a color to edge and back it that might help. OR, just finish it off and take it to a mission or somewhere who will make sure it gets to someone who really needs a warm blanket.<br /><br />I think it grows on you, but maybe next time, try using fewer colors.Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518858062969978457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-53369884536447319692012-01-19T02:19:41.010-08:002012-01-19T02:19:41.010-08:00I think you're being awfully hard on yourself ...I think you're being awfully hard on yourself Joanna, it's not ugly and if you feel you are color challenged I'd suggest going to your local quilt shop and have them help you pick a pattern, then colors to really make it pop.
