ok I'm freaking out a little!
#1
So I posted on here a while back that my DS wanted a football quilt. I have drown and sckethed and drawn and sketched and finally cut all the pieces out...whew! Now time to start sewing and I'm freaking out!!! All the negative thoughts in the universe are pouring into my brain like niagra falls! What if he doesn't like it? What if I cut wrong? It will never look as good as the pic in my head? I'm now panicing cause the red now cut looks more maroon than red! Just had to get that out my DH thinks I'm nuts!

I understand completely. When I made the quilts for my son's I was freaking out too! Till my oldest son came in to my sewing room and ran his hand lovingly over the quilt I was making him. I could tell he was very excited to get it. My other son told me that his quilt is incredibly important to him because Mom made it. I am willing to bet your son will love it!

The quilt will be beautiful and he will love it. This ALWAYS happens to me. Not sure why, but it does. I have been known to even go and buy another fabric only to go back to the original. So just get going, and all work out. We are all a little nuts when we are going from our thoughts and not from a pattern.
Just have fun!

Find really cool backing fabric too. If he doesn't fall in love with one side, he has the other side...
I made my grandmother a puzzle piece quilt. I used the "fruit ladies" fabric on the back. She loved it but she was also more excited about the back than the front!!
