A Finish!
So excited. I rarely ever finish a quilt. You'd think being a quilter
it would happen often, but not for me. Not only am I very slow but I like the process and really don't care about the end product. Heresy, I know. However, last December I gave my husband a basted quilt for his birthday. I figured I'd better actually finish it before his birthday rolls around again, and I did!

Lizzy's word is exactly what I was thinking; lovely. And as far as taking a
year to finish, I seem to remember another 'samples of batiks' quilt here. It was framed ovals and also lovely . . . and so far as I know, STILL not finished. Not naming names or nothing, just thought I'd mention it. Polly "Lizzy Taylor" wrote in message ... On 01/12/11 19:26, Marcella Peek wrote: So excited. I rarely ever finish a quilt.

Well done Marcella. It's lovely - so bright and colourful. Great
achievement to get it done. I, too, am slow; but in my head I don't take account of distractions! I think I had better do so - it would make my aims more realistic. (I am constantly 'failing'). Thanks for the 'lesson'. .. In message , Marcella Peek writes So excited. I rarely ever finish a quilt. You'd think being a quilter it would happen often, but not for me.

Sometimes it's just hard to not compare yourself to those speedy quilters, but we're all just different. Maybe I clean my bathroom way faster than they do :-) marcella |

Thanks you two!
It's nice that others sew just as slowly :-) I remember pictures of another batik quilt like you describe and some things are definitely worth the wait. marcella In article , "Polly Esther" wrote: Lizzy's word is exactly what I was thinking; lovely.

Love your blue border fabric. That blue is a favorite with everyone in
my family. I made the same pattern using all the Christmas novelty quarter yard pieces that I bought every year and never used. This quilt was a great way to use the fabric. By the time I was ready to attach the borders I was in a hurry and they stretched. The quilt must be draped on a chair because it could never be folded evenly and forget hanging it on the wall. Yours looks very flat. Susan On Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:26:57 -0800, Marcella Peek wrote: So excited. I rarely ever finish a quilt. You'd think being a quilter it would happen often, but not for me.
