Lol...It went to my second cousin in CT. What takes me so long in making quilts is the finishing up. I start embroidering and get a bit carried away but it seems to be my favorite part of making them. It's so relaxing and when I'm not embroidering I'm thinking about embroidering.

These are fabulous! I bought my fabric and started cutting this morning but...I almost lost it when I realized I was only going to get 4 repeats instead of 6. I feel like a dufus because I found the fabric that I loved but didn't know I would have to buy 4 yards (because it has a 24" repeat) so I only bought 3 yards. Sob! I have to run to do errands now but I really wish I could figure out a way of making this work. I also bought 3 yards of the same designer because I wanted to make a 2 fabric OBW.

Any suggestions out there besides calling it a day? Boo-hoo....sniff, sniff.

It's actually embroidery. I can't resist the beautiful threads available today.

Thanks everybody, but they're really not that difficult compared with some of the work I see pictured I see on this board. I have a real talent for doing everything backward the first time and spend a lot of time ripping out seams!
