The hardest one I've made
#22
:shock: I'm soooooooooo shamed of myself :? You talk about seeing the mistakes and sush things. I must be going blind because I don't see it also I'd give my eye teeth to have done that. I'm fairly new to this stuff and when I see all the things you ladies do I'm - well lets put it this way, I've done one king , queen 2 laps 6 minis of auction and large wall hanging. Some times I feel like I should just give up. Then again I think how mush fun it is and I'm off again. One of these days I'd like to be like shadowdancer and do a bargello :)

My avatar is a kitty??? :shock:
The mistakes are in placement of fabrics--no big deal. Just frustrating when all is said and done and I triple check!! But... no one would notice if I didn't point it out. :lol:
chunkymama (oh my your forum name gives me the giggles) you keep on quilting!! Everyone has a starting place. Everyone gets their own degree of joy from handling the fabrics. I thought through once about WHY quilting brings me so much joy--and I decided it's because I get to choose everything, from the pattern, the colors, when I work on it, who I give it to...what color it's quilted in and the design of the quilting (my quilter friend has endless options!!) So--focus on the joy--and where you are--and keep going. :D
Have you read "The Quilt Maker's Gift?" Oh my goodness--read that and be inspired.

Beautiful quilt! I bet that took a long time. I have one stashed away in a closet that I don't want to finish...maybe one day.
I didn't see the mistakes either. Almost everytime I make a quilt I tell myself that I am going to be very careful. I usually end up cutting something too small and having to go buy more fabric!
Keep 'em coming.
God Bless!
