Quilt4u, sorry you've had a hard time. I bet even your trouble quilt is too pretty for dogs!

Can't wait to see pictures of these latest quilts. I'm on the edge of my seat.

I jusrt want to throw it out now and start over.As a matter of fact I am starting over. Give this one to my dogs.

I'm just trying to figure out WHAT I'm going to do for this doll quilt. I've looked thru numerous magazines, have found some pretty patterns, but they are all too big! Smallest I found was 45 x 45. UGH! If I cut the size down, it takes away from the entire design......
I want to get this done and in the mail by Friday!!!!

Trust me, kiddo, I feel your pain! I even went out into the garage and dragged out about 10 years of old quilting magazines to look through. I'm not a creative person, so I at least have to find an pattern that strikes me, even if I end up adapting it.

Chele, I'm with you. Q4U, just finish it and wash it, then the puckers will look like antique!!

And I can't wait to see Patti's. It sounds fantabulous!
