I do understand this - seems I don't have time to make a close friend a quilt, and I sure was pushing to get one for her before Christmas! With the hand sewing, it's almost impossible to make a nice quilt for everyone on my list - so I've opted on making her a wall quilt - and an afghan with colors I know she will love! I'm hoping to make her a quilt for next year - might even surprise her for her birthday in February!
