Default I cannot wait until this quilt is finished!

When I first started working on it, I really liked it!! Liked the fabrics, liked the pattern, etc.
But as I continued working in it I have started liking it less and less.
I'm at the point where I wish it would just finish itself!
I cannot wait to finish it and give to my sister!

I totally get it! I started a wedding ring star for my son and his fiance which is not coming out like I thought it would. I am not sure I will ever finish it! At least you are close. Your sister will love it.

I think we've all had that happen. Just think about how happy your sister will be when you give it to her. Hope you're able to finish soon and move on to something you like better.

I feel much the same about the one I'm making for my Mum. I'm bored, bored, bored with making the same block over and over again - paper-pieced, 4 identical units in each block, 25 blocks (it was originally going to be 36 but I decided pretty quickly to make it smaller or put bigger borders on it!). I've made loads of silly mistakes and had to undo or redo quite a bit. I'm now doing a block a day until I finish the wretched thing. I think it'll look good, it's just been a pain to make.

I think we have too much ideas in our heads and too many patterns to choose from.
As soon as we see how it turns out to be, we want to try another one to see how that one is going to turn out!!!
But it's always such a great feeling when a quilt really is finished!!!!

Funny. I have had that happen and yet when I kept on working on the quilt and saw the end product ... well, I loved it again.

I only gave up once. I bought the fabric for a OBW that would do so beautifully. Once I got it home the color seemed different. It reminded me of sick body fluids .... No way would it be a OBW. It did make a cute bowl that I gifted to a friend.

I've also had problem after problem on this quilt. It has a lot of different fabrics so I laid it out how I liked it, sewed all the rows together, then I moved back home over Thanksgiving break and something got messed up because as I sewed the rows together it didn't turn out like I had it planned. I ended up having to do what I like to call 'surgery' on a few blocks. And there is still a big flaw I would like to change, but it's too late.

I do really like how it is turning out, I just can't wait to be done with it!
And I can't wait to give it to my sister, she has been waiting a long time. It was a birthday present from my mom (she bought the fabric) and me (sewing it together) and her birthday was back in September. But being a college student, I don't have very much time to sew. Especially as I am nearing graduation!
