Here's the baby quilt I started some time ago, at the "sewing on the binding" stage. I think it looks pretty good for a first try at quilting. Every step takes me three times as long as it should because I'm learning as I go... measuring, remeasuring... cutting, recutting... stitching, restitching... adding the backing and middle layer and finding I had to measure and cut again. Taking this picture and posting it is supposed to serve as inspiration to get myself back into the guest room and finish it. Get that binding on. Tack the layers together. ... and then... Oh, No! ...start another one ;-)Knowing that some small child will receive this quilt through Project Linus makes it all worthwhile, though. Surely the next project will be easier for someone who is no longer a "beginner"!
Looking good. That's a practice in patience if I've ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it. I think I'd go stark raving mad (I learned that phrase from you; don't you love it?)
ReplyDeletedoubleL, do you ever say "I'm going to run off screaming into the wilderness and never come back!" ??? I learned that one from MY mother. I wonder what she learned from her mother?
ReplyDeleteYour Aunt Jackie has this to say:
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say about "quilters" - those are the crazy people who take a perfectly good whole piece of cloth, cut it up in tiny pieces and then sew it all back up together again.
