(it was suppose to be for us to keep for our spare bedroom) Grrrr! Yet it maybe beautiful in the end.
Thanks for listening :thumbup:
P.s. I have finished quilting it tonite and just got to do the binding yet. Hoping that may go smoothly.

YES!YES!YES!
in fact my mother-in-law's quilt- oh my gosh--it was such a pain! by the time i finally finished it i was so dog-gone unhappy with it---and sick of looking at it---i really wanted to send it to a landfill!
almost didn't give it to her- only did because hubby insisted---
she loves the quilt- everytime anyone mentions it i want to yank it off her bed and throw it out!
i've never had a quilt give me such fits-
in my (probably a bit over critical) mind it is HORRIBLE! the components of the quilt are (ok) but putting it together didn't go so well --- in my mind i guess---lucky for me hubby's family are not 'crafty' people---and don't pay too close attention- i would want to crawl under a rock and never make another quilt if she decided to actually show it off to a quilter.......

When I get to that point, I walk away for a while. Not as frustrated/upset when I finally get back to it. The binding will wait for a day or two.
My recommendation - brownies with a hot fudge sundae followed by some chocolate as a chaser. :)

I made a quilt top I loved. I was trying to quilt it and I had so many problems with it I can't hardly stand to look at it. I still haven't put the binding on it and fix the back where the eagle nests made holes in the back. I haven't tried to quilt anything since. I will tho. I have several tops to quilt.

I must say I threw the quilt out once maybe twice. I threw the pattern away a long time ago. Somehow days later I would retrieve the quilt out of the trash and give it another go around. gee,I cut the binding last nite, getting close to done, done, done! I can't wait!
Amazing how some quilts just fight you all the way, and other times I walk thru the sewing room to get something, get involved in a project and walk out with a completed quilt. Now I like that kind.
