Hang in There
 

This is a small wallhanging (about 12 x 12) inspired by Chris Gilman's "Tighten the Tension." The blocks that alternate with the little 9 patches are from a Riley Blake clock print. I think the quilt illustrates the stress that many people have trying to get all of their responsibilities taken care of in the allotted time.

I LOVE this!!

Just too cute!

I know someone that would love that. I may just have to borrow the idea.

That is so cute. Also, it is so true. Why do we do this to ourselves! It is a reminder to perhaps think about the important stuff and let the unimportant fall by the way side.

Very clever!

Very cute! And so fitting for a quilter! Or anyone for that matter!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

So creative.

The clock fabric is perfect with the printed message! This is just darling!

Just adorable, I've bookmarked it!

So sweet! You certainly did catch the stress of the times!

very cute!

They are always so CUTE !!!

Love this little quilt. I saw it on here awhile back & I want to make one. Thanks for reminding me. Yours is awesome!

verty cute!!!

This is so cute! The clock print adds so much to the idea! I made one, too, but still trying to find shoes for my little "hang in there" guy.

Great quilt! I have seen these before but your color and fabric choices are the absolute best!

I know what you mean. I can't find any either. I just wrapped the feet in a little felt, and that will have to do until I run across some shoes -- maybe at a garage sale.

That is just adorable!

Very cute - especially the "extra".

LOL...love this! What a great motivator when things go wrong...just...Hang In There like this little square.

That is tooooooo cute....

That is so cute. You could use any 6.5" block to make it I think. May have to try it and see when I get extra time.

Certainly a good job.

Several of the hang in there blocks have come to QB, and there all make us smile. Thanks for sharing yours with us.

Good Job! I have seen this quilt and it's on my very long To Do list.

These quilts are sooooo adorable! I must make one! And I agree -- they're easy enough to just wing-it!

very nice........

Any patterns for this?

I didn't use a pattern for mine, but here is a link to the "Tighten the Tension" pattern.

Follow-up to my original post. My quilt went to the silent auction segment of the Bible camp quilt auction held annually in the community where I grew up. My sister won the auction! She is a church administrator and wanted it for her office.

Good work and message.

That is so cute and sure to bring a smile to all who see it! Thanks for sharing - and the smile!

Just darling.

This is too cute...and very creative!!! Love it.

great job....
