I just finished a Queen Size Quilt (my first bed-size quilt) for my husband. He wanted a scrappy quilt that reminded him of when he helped his mother cut out the pieces for the quilts she made back in the 50's.
I cussed, fussed and procrastinated the whole way through the quilt because it was driving my crazy - particularly the puckers on the backing - don't know if it was me, the fabric, the machine or a combination of all 3 = but I knew I wasn't happy with the puckers. Just got tired of ripping them out and redoing just for more puckers!
Anyways - he LOVES it! Said it is perfect and who cares about some puckers - he says it is to keep him warm and bring back happy memories - and the fact that I made it makes it perfect to him!
And, you know what - when I step back and look it - it's not all that bad - it's not for a quilt show but so what????
POX on the Quilt Police!
