I would rip it out and pay someone else to do the quilting and NEVER say yes again! ;)

I quit volunteering along time ago. I tell them I have too many things on my plate as it is. I donate what I can when I can.

So Sorry!! and totally agree with follow your gut on this and everything else...Learning to just say no is a lesson in itself. Why is it so hard for us when we know what the outcome will be?

Surely the quilt from hell. Must be your quilting guardian angel is asleep at the job.

Im so sorry to hear that. It would be enough to make me throw in the towel. A some point the only thing you can do is save yourself. I'm with Colleen on this one. Whatever it cost, it would be worth my sanity to hand it off.

So I'm guessing you won't be taking a chance on the raffle??

Thanks for your advice.
Wow, been there and just handed the quilt over!
Praises because the gentleman was never in church again after he received the quilt and passed on 6 months later.

I know exactly how you feel. I enthusiastically volunteered to be on the raffle quilt committee and ended up being a one person committee. Others made some blocks, some were the right size, some were not. Good thing the blocks were planned in a way that they could be trimmed down. When the top was finished, I was very relieved and then when the guild asked for a volunteer to quilt no one volunteered. I have a long arm so guess who got to quilt it too? The pressure to get it right was intense. In the end the quilt was beautiful and everyone loved it and it brought in a lot of $$ for the guild. Still, I don't volunteer for anything anymore.
