Being bugged reminds me - I found a proof of one of the many pictures my photographer Grandpa took of me in his studio at Idaho State back in the 1970s. This is EXACTLY me (that's for Kristy C. - she had a wonderful post about five photos that represent her - go read it... after this):
That mark on my forehead is a scratch on the photo, not me. Notice I'm wearing a beautiful bracelet. And that, at about five years-old, I was already exasperated with the world at large. This is how I feel inside most of the time.
Back to Sew & Tell Friday. I finished the quilt I intended to turn into a car seat cover today and I don't like it. I will not like it on a car seat. I will not like it for Kellie. I would not, COULD NOT like it. I'm so mad! My plan didn't work. Anyway, here it is:
Check out Amy's blog today for people who didn't waste a lot of time last week making something weird. :)

Uh...I'm thinking that Chloe has an amazing resemblance to her Aunt Nicole. I never saw it before now. :)
I think it turned out cute!
Oh, you make me laugh SO HARD! You did some lovely work here, but I understand the disappointment of working hard on something that should be awesome and then isn't. (Like when I actually buy all the fancy ingredients for something and then it ends up being gag and shiver food.) I liked your friend Kristy's post. It's an interesting question. Also, I like your fancy bracelet. Jealous.
so what don't you like about it? I hate it when you have a vision of what you are making and then the reality doesn't match up.
With that said, I think this is REALLY cute! just as a quilt even. Please don't lose all hope and abandon your work. ;)
I think it is cute. But I can understand your "bugged" feeling about it not turning out the way you wanted it to. I got excited about making an apron this week and then i ruined it, such a bummer. Hope you can get out of the funk and feel creative again!
psst...it could come live at my house I like it so much!
I love those colors together, and for what it's worth, I think it's great. If there is no way you are going to like it you should see if you can donate it somewhere. Then at least you can feel good about making it.
Weston. Weston with pigtails. I can't believe it!
Oh! I'm sorry you had issue with the minky on the longarm! I've wuilted with it as a backing on my Voyager 17 and thought it was great, just like fleece.
your post made me laugh, though. thanks
The pattern and colors are very cute! But it's frustrating not to love something you thought you would:)
I wonder what you were thinking when that picture was being taken!
I think your quilt looks bright and beautiful, and I love your childhood picture!
not weird!! i think it looks great
I love this quilt! Love the colors, love the white sashing - it's great! (Great pic of you as a kid too!)
i was only looking at the pictures when i first read today. i went back and read and was sad that you didn't like it. sorry you don't love it, but i do know how it is to think something is going to be fab and have the person in mind for whom you are making it and to have it not measure up. of course yours is still beautiful.
I think it all came out so pretty. Love the colors you used.
I would like it here and ther, I would like it anywhere.
Beautiful!!
Blessings,
KT
Love the fabrics and the pattern. The blue spot is lovely.
It can be frustrating to have something not be what you have envisioned! I think it looks fabulous! I would love to see what you consider not to be weird! :)
I think this is very lovely!!! Definitely not weird.
Sorry it took me so long to get to this! I'm a little behind. I LOVE that picture. I love your expression. That's so priceless. I feel like that about life a lot too (o: Thanks for sharing!
