My daughter asked me to make blocks for a quilt for her father in law for Christmas. These blocks quickly became ones I don't like. So I procrastinated, made one here and there in between working on other things. Now I'm under the gun, I have the first two rows together, have the third row almost done and two more rows after that to go. Then I have to put the borders on, sandwich and quilt it by the end of next week! Talk about pressure!! LOL

Here is row 1 & 2. :)

They are very pretty blocks. Why don't you like them? Are they a pain to piece?

Well I hate to say it.. knowing how you feel about it, but... it does look GREAT ! Isn't it sad that we can never say that N_ word, especially to our children and family :wink:

Shadow, I think it's just lovely. I understand why you are not liking it, but your efforts will not go unnoticed. Lovely work. Can't wait to see it finished.

It is a beautiful quilt...I can understand not liking that many pieces per block though :wink:

It looks beautiful. The edges of the pieces almost look pinked. Is that an optical (camera) illusion?

That is a LOT of pieces per block! But I'll bet you work great under pressure, and I know you'll get it done in time. This would be a fabulous Christmas quilt--are you sure you don't want to make another one for me????
