I commit to working on it for 15 minutes a day. Usually once I'm working on it, I'm willing to go for longer than 15 minutes, but if not, I cut myself some slack & quit for the day.

Send it to me...I'll finish it for you...then you can do something fun!

So last night I went into the sewing room and worked for about an hour until dinner was ready, then put in another 3 hours after dinner. And this morning before leaving for work I put in about half an hour. The progress is captivating! Just need to finish the border on the back (in colors that I LOVE), then sandwich, quilt, bind and it'll be DONE!!! I'm hoping to mark the quilting on the top and have it sandwiched this evening.

Good for you, Prissnboot! You have grit and determination! And an almost finished quilt! Maybe by now, you're even done! YIPPEE!! Give yourself some kind of reward...even if it's 15 minutes to read a book or extra cup of tea or coffee or whatever. Good for you! :-)

would love a photo of it. Was it the colors, pattern, choice of fabric, too bold, too light?

Glad you have pressed on. You'll be happy it is finished, and can be gifted. :)

Yeah you!!!! You are conquering it and almost ready to move on. Yes! Reward yourself. I am a big believer in a good reward....usually new fabric. :)

I am working on a quilt for my son. He loves the fabric and I don't so I've had to remind myself that it's not about me. It's made it easier as I work on it.

Glad to read you are progressing. I have been where you are several times but quilts were for the grans and I got them finished. Best Wishes

There are two schools of thought.
#1 - Life is too short to be miserable, stuff it in a closet and move on. (I was making a baby blanket, got to the point I was sick of it, moved on, found one I love, finished in no time)

#2 - Pull up your big girl panties and finish the darn thing. You will be a better person if you finish what you started. It is a learning experience. Strong people come through in tough times - blah, blah, blah

You actually know your answer. Pick which is you.
