Sometimes it's best to step back and reevaluate the next day. Hope it works out.

Even with your frustrations you seem committed to keep going and not to let it become a UFO hidden deep in your closet. Good for you. It just might turn out to be a favorite of yours because of the struggles.

My sympathies are with you! Sometimes the best thing to do is leave it alone and cuddle a cat or two (or other furbaby).

Wondering how things are working out for you?

That reminds me of a time when I was working on a large diamond for diamond log cabin star quilt. I couldn't get anything to work and the measurements were off, etc. Just threw it on top of a pile of fabric worked on another and went to bed. Unresolved issues bug me so I picked it up the next day and it was all perfect. Guess I was tired and couldn't even read a ruler right. A good night's sleep cures lots of ills.

Quilt finished, washed and drying, will post tomorrow and you can let me know what you guys think, xx

I had a bad day too. I made a wallhanging to test out a pattern for a king size quilt. I was sandwiching it and noticed in my haste that I did not square up the blocks. The contrasting border makes it very obvious that it's out of square. Oh well!

I'm with the daughter. Give it to the person intended. Especially if your husband likes it, it can't be all that bad. When you see it a few years from now, (maybe) you will wonder why you thought it was so bad.

Best wishes.

I feel your pain! I've been there, too,as everyone else has. I'm a little confused, though. If you've QAYG, why do you need a backing?

I qayg the front and the batting as I didn't have a backing at the time, I know I like to complicate things for myself, finished and its posted on pictures. This was my first time qayg and I did it beacuse I was sewing circles. I'll probably layer sandwich and quilt in the trad manner in future.
