keeping quilts
#14
I am in the process of doing the same thing. I promised one of my nieces a black and red quilt and now that I am half way through it I know I am not going to be able to let it go. It is my first French Braid and it is coming out beautifully. I will have enough fabric left over to make a D9P so that is what I am going to make for her. I am not usually this way either and I am not particularly fond of black and red but for some reason I really love this quilt. Don't feel guilty, some quilts just call to us. Make her another one with lots of love and it will be better for both of you.

If you bought the fabric and didn't promise THAT quilt to anyone - I'm with everyone else - keep it and enjoy it!
You know that saying - "love your neighbor as yourself"?
I think that also implies one should care for oneself - one has to respect and care for oneself before being able to care for and/or respect others.

True Artists are always faced with this dilema. But the most important thing is keeping your finest work for yourself. You can make another one for the gift. That will give you an opportunity to try something new! When I make wall hangings I always make them 2 at a time because I always want to keep one for myself!!!
