BEES? in the undies, wow what a way to get a buzz on lol, Too bad you didn't just return it unquilted and let someone else deal with it. Hope you are being paid well tho, since it sounds as if you hung in there.:)

Oh, Eddie, we all remember that your own work is always wonderful.

Are you sure that you want to finish this vintage quilt? It doesn't seem to be bringing you any pleasure right now. Work on something that you will love. :-)

I've never heard of bees in your underwear, but the thought brings to mind Ray Stevens' "Mississippi Squirrel Revival"...the one where a kid brings a squirrel to church and it gets loose and gets into one of the congregation's Fruit of the Looms! What a picture! :lol: :lol:

Eddie, so did I miss it? Did you finish the wonky wonky, I was hoping for a pic. How did it turn out?

Here's a couple of pics of the finished quilt. I think it was about the most frustrating one I've worked on. As you can see, there aren't many straight lines on it. Glad it's done! :D

Nice work Eddie! I always look forward to seeing your quilts (even if you didn't piece them). This quilt has that cozy, home-made feel. I'm sure your customer will really appreciate your work.

We've come to expect nothing but beautiful work from you, Eddie, and you certainly didn't disappoint us this time either. Even though it wasn't enjoyable, you certainly did a fabulous job. I'm sure the recipient will be more than pleased. Enjoy the holidays!
