There was ...Is there ever resting for fish lips? <br /><br />There was once a bar, pub or restaurant in WI called "Fish Lips on the Creek". <br /><br />No resting. <br /><br />I think it will be fine.

Don't fret about it. Don't think about it. And for Pete's sake, don't point it out to anyone once the quilt is finished! :) we quilters are the worst about that!<br /><br />I also think that you deserve a medal for sewing up all those teeny tiny squares! Wow. The whole thing will look great once it's done. I promise. And if you don't think so, you can just send it to me to love. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791242249964743766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-89314468990559666112011-08-24T17:02:14.831-07:002011-08-24T17:02:14.831-07:00it took a second to find it in the last picture so...it took a second to find it in the last picture so i dont think it screams.

On its own I was wincing at the screen...but by the third shot with its neighbors, it looks great! It blends in and I like the warmth it adds to some of the cooler blocks. But that is my opinion and this is Your Quilt! I say live with it for a bit and if it is still really standing out to you ditch it, otherwise I think it is going to do quite well in the neighborhood.Rebecca Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338059543165541467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-54604582167525600852011-08-24T10:01:04.516-07:002011-08-24T10:01:04.516-07:00I was going to say I hate it!!
