I bought a super cute jelly roll on sale and was excited to try a pattern at I saw on MSCO YouTube. Part of it was I forgot to change to my walking foot, which helped when I put it on for the most part. But the fabric was super thin so it didn't feed well or got tangled up, and this was a Moda line! I have used alot of Moda and never had this issue before. I finally got the top done and got the backing and binding ordered (which came in today). Now to go get batting so I can finish this quilt. lol I think I will like it once it is done but man, it has been a pain to quilt.

Anyone else have "one of those" quilts that you hated when working on it?

Yea, that's why I usually have other projects going, so I can take a break from one that's giving me fits!

I get to that point with almost every one when I am at half way done with the hand quilting, because I am anxious to begin the next project. I try not to have too many projects going, so I get them finished. I have one hand work, one pieced quilt, and a string quilt working..Wont start another till one of these is done

I did stop at about the 3rd row because it was making me ill. I picked it back up later and did it it in sections until it was done. It is such cute fabric too, the Lil Rascals line with the dogs, cats, geese, etc on it. I love the design on it but not so much the thinness of the fabric.

I bought 2 Robert Kaufman Grinch quilt kits last year to make for Christmas presents. I don't know if it was because I made 2 quilts exactly alike, one right after the other, or what but I finished one and gifted it this past Christmas. The other one the top is finished and folded up in my UFO pile. I just can't motivate myself to finish it! I have everything I need to finish it. It just needs to be sandwiched and straight line quilted (actually crooked line quilted as it is Dr. Seuss!) and the binding put on it. I know, I know . . . it is LONG overdue! Fortunately the friend it is going to is understanding and knows that he will get the quilt before Christmas 2012!!!

I had the same problem earlier this year, butI couldn't wait to finish it because I was so excited and wanted to see it finished. I designed and made a photo memory quilt for my BFF's 70th birthday coming up in Sept. I can't wait to gift her with it.

Absolutely. I made a quilt that I absolutely hated every minute of it, other than buying the fabric for it. Anything that could have gone wrong with it did. Have it on our bed at the camp and it everyone tells me it looks wonderful, but I can still look at it and resent its very existance!

Yes, I think that's why I end up having so many quilts going at once. One year, my New Year's resolution was to finish up all my UFOs. I was inspired by a young member of our guild who only worked on one quilt until completely done, then she would start the next one. By May or June of that year I had completed all my UFOs!! I was surprised that I actually could do it. By Christmas I must have had 6 projects going at once. LOL That's when I decided I wouldn't fight it and would just work on exactly what I felt like doing. It's my hobby and relaxation, afterall. There are too many other things in life that I HAVE to do.

Yes! I'm working on a challenge quilt where I was given the fabric and have to use it on 20% or more of the top. I don't like the fabric for a quilt, although I'd like it for a bag. I can't wait to get it done but I'm not loving working on it.

Yes, I have this happen to me way more than I want it to. Some quilts just seem to fly together & others are like pulling teeth. I just sent a Jelly Roll Race off to the LA'er & I cannot tell you how happy I was to see that little puppy go out the front door! I was unhappy with it every step of the way (tho I kinda liked the way it turned out) & am glad it's a gift (that's awful to say, isn't it?).
