Have you ever made a quilt for...
#1
yourself?
I've made many quilts.
Quilts for parents, in-laws, family, new babies, friends, charities, etc.
I have tons of fabric that I absolutely love and for some reason there are a few pieces that can't bring myself to CUT.
(duh, that's the reason I bought it. right? - at least I'm pretty sure that was my intention when I fell in love with it.)
SO.. DMIL was here from Indiana last week.
(sweating her booty off in S.E. Texas!)
I took her to a quilt shop in Old Town Spring.
It's stacked 3 and 4 bolts high throughout 2 houses.
ALL Moda fabric.

Well.. I made a decision.
I bought 3 charm packs and 2 cuts of coordinating fabric.
I've given myself express permission to CUT this fabric and MAKE something of it!
Come hell or high water, I'm determined to make a lap quilt for myself.
It feels kinda good to assert myself to do one for ME for a change. :)
Anyone else ever have/had a problem making something for yourself?

Of course...now I'm feeling a little guilty and selfish. UGH! What a complex.

I bought a kit of fat quarters in blacks and creams that I WILL MAKE FOR MYSELF. I promise me. So there! Now I just need to get the rest of the things I'm working on finished so I can really do that. I took a basket and put it on the table in my dining/sewing room of the things I really need to finish before I start anything else. So far, making good progress - then me, me, me! (Well, unless I need to start getting those Christmas projects moving along .... )

I plan to keep the very first quilt I ever started (its still not finished lol) mostly because there are more flaws than any other I've made ;) There's also some black and white fabric I have that I want a lap quilt out of...... no one's claimed it yet so here's hopin!
(When a family member wants me to make em a quilt I have em go through my stash and pick out 3 or 4 colors they like and go from there. That way I don't have to guess if they like it or not.)
