oksewglad- thanks for the advice- i had really allowed this project to be --- a rock around my neck---and you are right- it does not have to be- i need to clean my room- pull out the box- dump the fabrics on the table and let them (speak to me) :)
who knows- if i look at them with (more positive eyes) i may even be able to make the quilt they were first purchased for- its been 7 or 8 years- i need to *get over it!* thanks for the ---insight and support :) |
I did a class and I made all the sqs for a Full quilt, and have decide that now I am going to sew it up into lap quilts instead, I LOVE the fabric and the original pattern, but I dont love the idea of trying to find a LA and I can do lap quilts on my machine at home lol

Ah I caught the warm fuzzy you sent ckcowl!:)
And SNS--you are thinking "what if's" as well. :thumbup:Seems to me the idea of sending the quilt out to a LAQ was stopping you from making a beautiful quilt(s). Think about dividing bigger quilts into 4. Quilt each quandrant seperately, then join the 4 quilted segments into one large "4 patch" QAYG style. Then bind your completed quilt. If you leave enough batting for borders on 2 sides of each quarter you can then attach borders on both top and bottom after the 4 pieces are QAYG. Finally FMQ the borders., attach the binding and you are done! |
where's that "like" button lol

This sounds like I need to be here. I've finished 10 tops in the last 10 days. Most were BOM quilts or quilts started and not completed at retreats. There is a kaleidoscope, Tennessee Waltz, tree quilt, purple blocks quilt, these are all queen size. 4 BOM tops -throw size, a pieced spool quilt, twin size and a wall quilt. Now plan to get them layered and quilted this winter. Waiting for the weather to turn cold and keep me at home. grin

Quick question quilting friends. Can we post any sewing UFO's or just quilted items?
|
I just finished reading all of this thread. My goal is finishmost of my UFO. My quilt group at senior center is between quilts --- some finished some still have work to be done. Today we all decided to do ufos for a month or so. I have finished this week a lap quilt that only needed 2 hrs worth of work on it. Bigger projects is finish 8 queen size quilts that are in varing stages of completion. I'm hoping to get most of them done before June. I will be happy if they are all totally pieced, And two quilted. I do my own quilting on my domestic vintage Singers. But I like to start new projects. Finish...finish...finish...finish...finish...finis h.

Of course, we love to see them all. Post away:).

I joined 2011 and slipped a little but did finish a few things. I will give 2012 a go and see how much I get finished.
