My fiance adores the Crown Royal quilt. I can tell his patience is running thin though concerning my "inability" to get it finished:) First, I got interrupted by DH wanting her quilt finished. I thought, ok its'a a simple meander pattern I can knock that out in a weekend (turned into 4 lol) then, I joined the International Round Robin group. My center is almost done, or will be by Thursday night so it can go in the mail to Sandpat on Friday. He asked me the other night "do you have anything else that HAS to be done next?" with those big, brown, puppy dog eyes :) How could I say no to those? So, I solemnly promised that the next one I finished would be his. Now, how can I fit 3 more quick quilts into the time left between now and Christmas and get his done?

Sure. Just tell him he has to do the cooking and cleaning so you can quilt. Sounds like a win win to me. :)

Don't forget to tell him to do the laundry while he's at it! 8)

He really needs to clean, cook, and do laundry.

WOW That should be worth a little housework.

I can't wait to see the whole thing.
