Ugly Quilt

Usually I like the quilts I make, but this one was an epic fail.  I ran out of the grey floral fabric and had to use a substitute to finish.  I added a brown border fabric that coordinates with the dark turquoise, and it looks terrible.  I didn't notice until just now, but I put one row in upside down.  This was a difficult quilt with each block containing 25 pieces.   It may be one of the most intense quilts I've made, but I missed the mark on color.  Oh well, I guess, I can't win 'em all.  It will be good to use for machine quilting practice. I used the pattern called Autumn Crown. I love how hers turned out!

 
 
Here is a close up of the Crown of Thorns block.  I was very hopeful at this point.
