You know something? You are all such wonderful, talented, awesome quilt addicts, and it breaks my heart to hear you cast doubts on your abilities and efforts. This is not a contest, but a fun opportunity to give a fellow member a heartfelt gift of their very own quilt, made just for them. We know the planning, plotting and processes that each step took, we practiced our 1/4 " seams, ripped out stuff, started over, cursed, ate lots of chocolate and pushed our limits to new limits, right? And the lucky new owner will NOT be using it as a dog bed or oil cloth, forget to gush and say thank you, but will display it with pride and never, ever forget the special partner who made it. I could take closeups of all my missed points, SITD goofs, the binding spots that had to be resewn, and more, but my partner agreed to keep the galloping pony at 1/2 mile. And it would be an honor to have any one of you as a partner, whether a newbee or a not-so-newbee.
Just never ask me to do a Sunbonnet Sue, I just can't get into her!
