Need some encouragement to finish- extra big project from last Christmas!
#1
This is the quilt i'm still working on. It was a gift for my grown-up son's Christmas LAST year! It is the most difficult quilt that I've ever designed and made. I will NEVER make another like it! Each year, my kids tell me what kind of quilt they would like me to make for them. This 28 year old always chooses something way off the grid. This year, he's getting a simple Monopoly quilt that I've chosen for him! He's seen parts of this as I work, and I told him that I would try to have this ready when he visits me for my birthday in a few weeks. This quilt makes me very discouraged when I look at the work I still have to do, but I am starting to see the end of it!
It's from an old video game called Q-Bert, and I still have to add some more monsters.

And here are 2 pics of the back, which I have finished

The back squares are made from orphan blocks and blocks that I have messed up on, and a few crumbs.

He's already told me he can hardly wait, and he said it will be good timing for cold weather. I know he really appreciates my quilts. He said he walks around his apartment wrapped in them for a few weeks, every time he gets another one.

I love the back! It's a quilt in itself.
Maybe make a checklist, with the remaining work broken down into smaller goals. It feels so good to some of us when we can cross off something finished, even if it is just one block.
