To be honest, I would find an excuse not to make the quilt if I could not find a way to think about what joy it will bring to the parents and later, when the baby is old enough to notice it, to the baby. It is my experience that the attitude of the people who create things somehow rubs off on their creations and I would hate for a family to have in their possession something booooring! Do yourself and that family a favor--either change your attitude or pass the commission on to someone who will feel privileged to be even a tiny part of such a wonderful event as the advent of a new baby. froggyintexas

BOOOORING!!! But that's what she wants, that's what she's gonna get. I should thank my lucky stars that she wants something that's so quick and easy to put together and get paid for, but still......BOOOORING!
How do you make it through boring projects?
