aww, stabbed quilt and babied quilt! i just posted on the pattern page, but i think it's a great idea-- more power to less waste. i HATE throwing my scraps away. i may just cover my bedroom wall with a crazy quilt.

i think it is a great idea... maybe some members are used to regular clothing patterns, you are thinking out the box as you said. It's fabulous because it has a great potential. Maybe the mix of fabrics didn't satisfy some members.

Scandal, oh my, teehee! In general I'm not one to complain about things I get for FREE and am after all at liberty to take or leave, so I have no problem with it! Though being rather 'free-form' as it is, I can see how perhaps it would have made a better how-to rather than 'pattern'. It's definitely in the tradition of a Victorian 'Crazy Quilt'. That zipper-border business is very clever, I'd never have thought to use it as trim like that!

Im Sorry but that is the most hiddious quilt I have ever seen . I make scrap quilts and they are beautiful. The girl should have cut the fabric in smaller peices and the sewed thm together on a better way, like strips ot blocks. theis one would not be downloadd at all unless the sewer is new. I KNOW this lady can do better than that. And Im wondering why they use the same patterns all the time>> if they can chang one they should be taught how to design their own I find thes are not designs, they are coppies of other patterns. so I can't see where it make a personal statement of the talent that some of these people have. Thank you

I like it - very abstract, "straight" quilts are a dime a dozen and mass produced...this is unique.

Hello again, I agree with emilykate, we are getting awesome things for free in this community, if you don't like it, don't take it! that's it. I don't want to be rude, but Guyie, if you don't like it and it seems hideous, then keep it to yourself, and post one of your "beautiful" scrap quilts. Members of this community are here to support each other and collaborate, not to criticize, specially in such nonconstructive way.

Like many others i was slightly disapointed when i first saw it but then got to thinking about my empty bedroom wall. Think something in that vein is just what it needs.So thank you!

Hello, I have read all of the comments of the other members, and I must agree with those who have stated that we do in fact get so many of these lovely patterns for FREE (magic word ;) and are not obliged to make any of them. I have been rather surprised at the remarkable level of negativity/controversy over this project. I do not prefer the layout of this quilt, but the concept is AWESOME. I have sorted through my fabric scrap collection and intend to make a quilt this month. Keep up the creative work Burda people, I have yet to find a sewing site to equal this one, and you continue to inspire me.
