Ever have "one of those" quilts that you can't wait to finish?

Yep. My step-daughter asked me to make her a queen size T-shirt quilt. She's a fantastic woman and I love her so much but had I known in advance what a chore it was going to turn into........I'm almost done quilting it on my domestic sewing machine and I am not proud of how it is turning out.

Yes, I just finished one like that. Hated it once I started putting all the square together. It was a sampler, hated the colors. My DD thought it was pretty but she and I have different tastes in fabrics. Finally finished it and gave it to my son (bless his heart because now he has to look at it). Am piecing one now from a kit I got at Connecting Threads. It's a joy to work on and love the colors. It's for my granddaughter who is in law school in NYC.

I am working on one right now that I have decided that I MUST finish before starting on the next. Everything that could go wrong, has, and now all that is left is the binding. I don't do binding well at all....in fact I am so intimidated by it, that I set aside completed quilts for months before attempting to bind them, and then when I do attempt to bind them I screw it all up and it puckers and looks bad. I need to attend a class on binding I guess !!

I have one of "those" quilts going right now!! It's actually my first pieced top - I had to "go big" and make it a king size, and I made so many mistakes on it, that I really just don't even want to work on it. So it and its backing fabric just sits there all folded up and making faces at me while I work on other stuff.

Oh, good! I'm not the only one! I now have final stitching of binding on one quilt; another basted for quilting; a Farmer's Wife quilt-along; a block-of-the month; a couple of purchased kits; pattern and uncut fabric for two more; and a couple of hundred 2" squares next to my design board for a mosaic quilt that I designed. Ack!

know what you are saying about moda jellyrolls.....had two of the same line and fabric from the same line that I bought off a bolt......no comparison, so dissappointed when I opened those jellyrolls, very inferior fabric, the top piecing is finished but may never be quilted....sooooo sad and aggravated, probably will never buy moda again.
