have you ever pieced a quilt and tired of it already?

Strangely enough the one quilt I've hated working on was the first quilt I made for my grandson - a baby monkey wrench quilt. I think I disliked it so much because the pieces were so small. Lesson learned and my son and DIL loved it, which is what's most important.

I just finished putting the binding on one that I finished the top of 7 years ago! I still am not crazy about it but now feel less guilty when I start a new project. A friend saw the finished top and offered to quilt it for me. She did a beautiful job on it and now it is complete! Unfortunately, like you, I am still not crazy about it. Maybe my style and taste has changed.

Right now - a baby quilt. I LOVE the fabrics and to show them to best advantage it's just a 9" square with another great fabric surrounding. Stitched in the ditch around each square (right now I need something I don't have to think about) then started quilting a motif in each square. And I hate it. I should have left it alone.

I appliqued peony quilt and am hand quilting. 90% done. I can't believe I've been working on this since 11/15/11. Only 5 more blocks, and 6 setting triangles and the borders. And oh yes the binding. But that's my new year resolution...not finished until the last stitch on the binding. Very tired of it!!!

I've been in the same boat and find when I complete the project I love it. It seems some patterns have errors or you change this or that and in the end it is great. I tell my husband that I never know how they will turn out till they are done, so don't give up keep going and be surprised. Post photo and maybe someone will have a good tip for you.

I was thinking this last night. When it's asked "What part of a quilt don't you like ?" I think it's where I am with this particular quilt -may look better when done but the feeling is keeping me from wanting to sew. It's QAYG.
