I'm in trouble. Now I have a new deadline.

I've seen a few pieces of loose fabric given with a note that it's a sign of what's to come!

A couple years ago I was invited to a shower. For the wedding I was giving a quilt, which was over budget. I decided to downsize the shower gift as a result. I made a heart quilt block of all the fabrics in the quilt (almost 50 different ones) and quilted and bound it. I included a note saying that it was a prelude and the rest of their shower gift would come with their wedding gift.
I think they thought they were getting placemats!
So you could do something similar!

Looks as though most of the work is done, the cutting, the lay-out. The quick & easy part is all you have. Depending on your hand, all you need do is assemble and press. What did you plan do do for quilting? Go ahead, knock out the piecing so you'll have time to get the quilting done too.
Remember to allow time for a "flat tire," as my daddy always said. If the time is programmed into the project, and you don't use it, you have time to spare. If a problem comes along, you have time to deal with it and finish on time.

When I had my first baby my mother knitted me a blanket. Since it wasn't done in time for the shower, she wrapped it up with the knitting needles. After the shower she took it back to finish. You could do the same with the baby's quilt.

So, I'm going to visit at the end of May. (They live in California, we live in Utah.) Last night I found out I'm invited to a baby shower while I'm there. That gives me less than 2 weeks if I want to finish in time for the shower. YIKES! I'm going to to do my best to get it done but have a backup gift just in case.
I need all the motivation I can get. Anyone want to join my cheering section. LOL
