I was asked to make a wedding quilt for a lady I work with. I was thinking this can't be so bad and will add a couple extra bucks in my pocket. I'm going to quilt anyway, might as well right? Well I'm glad I did it for her but it's something I really don't ever want to do again. The stress of picking the right patterns, fabrics and then when it's done, will they like it? will they go like I can't believe I wasted my money on this. Plus, she asked me to make a duvet cover instead of a quilt. I have never made one before but I said sure.
She did send me these paint chips so I at least had some direction to go with the color. And I sent her a few quilt ideas and she chose this one. This is the same pattern I made my youngest nephew for his graduation quilt. The pattern is called Move Over which I bought through Connecting Threads years ago.
I don't mind doing little table runners or things for family/friends, but when it comes to big quilts like this, I don't think my heart can take it.
I am happy to say that it is in the mail. I will know in a couple weeks if my friend likes it and a week or so after that if her son and new daughter-in-law like it.
I also have completed the Moda Blockheads 2 top and am currently quilting that. I also started Piecing the Past Quilts Baskets Birds and Blooms quilt. I still haven't finished the Delft Blue quilt from her yet. But this one is pieced not applique. This is the 1st 3 blocks.
There are two bird blocks that I need to make this weekend We'll see if I can get to them. Guild is next week and I need to make my block of the months for that too.
Oh and I also designed our guild's boutique postcard again this year. We're trying to get these out early.
Thanks for looking.
