Oh! This post struck a chord with me! I have just finished my part in completing a quilt to donate to a local hospice for a raffle!! NEVER AGAIN!!
My dear friend has worked like a DOG to get it done and has had minimal help from the rest of the group involved. Blocks came in all sizes and shapes! She set a colour scheme and on the whole the blocks came in ok (colourwise)
HOWEVER - she had very few blocks donated - relatively and only three or four people turned up on the sewing days we had to compelte it.
Someone suggested we did 'quilt as you go' and the construction was a pain! It would have been easier to sew it together and machine quilt it in one go!
I wonder if it isn't easier and faster to make a quilt by yourself! Of course - my recent experience is influencing me here!!!
That's my opinion!!
Of course like all our children - it is beautiful now its finished!!!!!
