Quilts talk
#63
Interesting. I wish they would "talk" before I start making them, like when I pick out fabric? I started one for my DDIL, and it was hideous, until I listened more carefully. Bought the right fabrics and she just loved it!

this is awesome:
"And sometimes they insist on being made and just drag me along for the ride because they are wanted somewhere that I don't know about yet. I have learned to listen and obey."

I loved my orig. fabric but the rest just isn't doing what I wanted it to do so now I just want to finish it & pass it on.
My fault since I couldn't find a pattern that was just right for the bouquets of 3 roses fussy cut out in 8" blocks so I'm designing it as I go. I am so over this quilt now.
I hate it when we have bossy tops. LOL

I had one talk to me last fall. I was working on a prayer quilt in my favorite colors and was so looking for to using it this winter, curled up in my chair reading a good book with my cup of tea by my side. As it neared completion, I heard rumbles from it that I couldn't keep it. Then as I learned that my neighbor of 37 years was moving the quilt told me it belonged it her and I had to let her go. One of my other quilts is mad at me for not coming up with the right applique to complete her, but she won't tell me what it is supposed to be - so she's still in time out!.
