Hopefully when I get it put together I will like it. I know my mom will love it no matter what, so at least I don't have to worry about that. I will post some pictures when I get some of it done.
I have a feeling that this project will grow on you.
When I started building my stash, I kind of avoided certain colors, or values, thinking they were too dull, etc. and I do have my favorites.
As I went along though, and especially when I see what others come up with on here...I have expanded in my tastes.
You will know, that your mom is going to love it, and it will spur you on.
Take control of that fabric, and be the boss...instead of passively letting it zap your quilting energy. (this is the pep talk I just finished giving myself :wink: ) You go girl, woo hoo. we'll make it...literally, lol! :lol:
