have fun quilting, you can make your own rules!

Well, considering the pattern has two booklets that come with it....challenging is the word. This is one of those bucket list quilts. It may take me two years to finish it.
I didnt get very far tonight. It's a kit and like every kit I had to pull out the ugly fabric. I HATE WHEN THEY SUBSTITUTE!!!! Yanked out about 15% of the fabric. Got that done and subbed in some from my stash. I will probably go to my favorite batik shop and pick up a few more to sub in. This quilt requires an unbelievable amount of pre-sewing organization which is what I will be doing for this weekend. There are around 200 2 1/2 inch strips that need to be cut into a few thousand little squares that are numbered in order and ziplocked into baggies before you can begin to sew. |
You sound like me with a can of mixed nuts....they call to me and I lose control so I eat them....At least there are no calories in quilting! :lol: I saw the bali wedding star and it is beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it!!
Now get back and finish the project you were working on. It will give you incentive to finish more quickly!! Ditter |
It's a slippery slope... but filled with fun :)
I'd go for it. |
Oh, pretty! Have fun.

Well I cant quilt for two days but I can dream. I was dreaming about cutting the squares last night in my sleep.
My justification is that I am "stuck" on the third done quilt. It was a kit and they sent me a FQ that was cut short. I didnt realize it and now I am 3/8 inch short to make a square...I guess I have to go shopping on my lunch today. |

I have lost all interest in my current project that is only about a third done. I found myself digging through the directions of the Bali quilt last night instead of piecing the current top. |
OMG' I couldn't wait to start that quilt either, have a good time in piecing heaven.
