As Good As It Gets

The ugly ducking has been transformed into a beautiful swan - well, not quite, but I'm glad I stuck with this and it didn't turn into another UFO. This is one that actually looks better in person than it does in the picture - the pictures make it look brown and there isn't any brown in the whole thing!

I LIKE it! I wasn't sure when you posted the first pics of it, but you definitely saved it. That looks great!

It's very pretty! I hate when I can't get a good picture of a quilt. I always feel like I have to convince everyone that it's way cuter than the photo!

Looks good Irene. And done sometimes is good. They do grow on you after the quilting don't they.

Hi Irene,
The quilt looks really lovely- it is so interesting how color "reads" differently than you know it is. I enlarged it and then you do see the green/ gold cast to the fabric rather than brown.
Either way, your quilt is going to look splendid on someone's bed . Well done...

Hope Leo has a great birthday- he has a very lovely wife to help him celebrate...
Enjoy..
Regards,
Anna
