I have been trying to make a baby quilt to send to Alabama and it was just one thing after another. First I tried machine quilting, turned it over half way through was such a mess on back I had to take seven hours to pick it all out. Then I forgot how to cut bias binding now how could I do that I have been quilting for at least 10 years. Am I getting to old for this or is it just all this rain playing with my brain. Anyway I persevered and did finish it finally but not happily. I hope this baby isn't pickie. keep on trying I know you can do it.

Remember it took me 30 years to complete those pillowcases, and I'm even using them! I have a quilt that's the first one I started after my first piecing class. It's not good at all but I squared up the blocks, even cut off some star point to get the block square, and decided to finish it up. I've been looking for the right sashing and haven't found it yet. But you bet your bootie when it's done I'll be sending it to the quilters and using it! It won't be a show quilt or anything but I promised myself to use up fabrics and not have unfinished projects when I started quilting (like I did waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times with making kids clothes and crafts and with counted cross stitch floss and patterns!). We're always harder on ourselves than others are.onlymeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880378084448908090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296252131082397.post-48333121721890346062011-05-28T12:05:06.808-04:002011-05-28T12:05:06.808-04:00LOL You will get it figured out.
