Thread: ever start an expensive project but absolutely hate working on it?

Yep! Me too. My very best friend got married and her husband wrote this beautiful love letter to her on muslin that they used as a backdrop to the archway where they said their vows. She asked me to make a quilt using that as backing. She loves modern quilts and fabrics. Me? Traditional and traditional colors and fabrics. This was TWO years ago! I have purchased all the fabrics, but can't seem to even start. The backing thing scares me to death (don't want to cut away any important parts, even she isn't as worried about that as I am). And I'm not loving the modern patterns, so I'm at a standstill. Maybe for their 10th anniversary, LOL!

I do a couple blocks or a couple hours, whichever comes first. If I get back to it the same day, I make sure I do at least an hour. Once I was really motivated and got in 3 hours. Before I knew it, I had it pieced and ironed. Took me about 10 ten days. It was a small baby quilt.
