I must do things backwards because I kept my first because it was practice! And it was bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lots of quilts I have kept. I have made many quilts for family and friends but If I like a quilt pattern I make it up for myself unless someone needs a quilt. I find it hard to give mine away except for family because I hand piece, and hand quilt them so it's like a baby by the time I get it done.
|
I have only made one that I gave to my niece when she was a young girl. Everything else is for me because when I ask people if they would like a quilt, I get wishy-washy answers. So, they are all mine! I do make quilts for charities though, I can't hog all the fabric to myself! :)

I made myself a beautiful scrappy hearts quilt, that I custom fit to my bed. 110" x 112". I put it on my bed, took a picture, and refolded it, and put it away. Make me a quilt? Yep, easy. Make me use said quilt that I worked so hard on, not so much. :oops:
|
I am in the process of making a mystery quilt and it is the first one for my bed!!!! I have been quilting since 1989 decided it was time for one for me. :D
|
I always give all my quilts away. This year I made one for me and love it. I do not feel guilty.
|
I started one two years ago for myself. I messed up the machine quilting so I quit working on it. I should get it out and finish it but am so discouraged with myself for the mess I made after I did such a great job putting the top together.
|
I made one for myself by accident! It is not quilted yet, but the piecing is done. I had started collecting rich browns just because I loved them. One day I realized they were the same colors as my dogs (Brittanys) so I made a cream and brown log cabin out of them. I now have my very own Brittany Lap quilt. When it is done, it will be all mine!!
And no, I don't feel guilty at all. |
In a word yes.
|
Not yet, but I am collecting various purple fabrics for a purple and black Cathedral quilt for myself. Currently in process of making a series of wallhangings for myself.
