I am busy with a quilt for my husbands transplant fund. I am auctioning it off next week. I have ripped out what the quilting part so many times I am close to burning the thing...... I am machine quilting, I don't have time for anything else. I have other things that have to be finished for the auction and I am so close to losing it.



This is my very first *official* quilt.... who would have thought I would be so stressed out by something I have had a blast doing up until now!



I am done venting....

((((Barbara)))) I'm nor surprised you are stressed out! make the quilting something simple - SITD for example is plenty good enough!

Barbar ((((((((((( hug ))))))))))))). I can't really make any recommendations about the quilt, but as it is being made with love and for a reason so close to your heart, I bet it's going to be amazing. Best wishes for the auction and blessings be to you and your husband.

Barbara, I can soooooo relate....having the same issue on a wall hanging I'm working on.....I've learned that when this happens it's a good idea to hide the shears :)

Happens to us all at some time, Barbara. I know I have ended up absolutely hating the sight of some pieces - mostly the difficult ones!! Well done for sticking at it. . In message , Barbara Sherrill writes

Relax I was like that with my memory quilt....I made a mistake in the binding that I turned it out almost perfect....but homemade is made to have an error in it. I hand tied it in the hottest days...August and had to sit on the floor with this hot quilt....They used it for a wall hanging...I could of use a flannel sheet for that matter ...I used a white fleece and it was HOT ...and not really overly heavy. I would of much rather went out and bought a gift...this was for the gal's husband who basically dumped me as her friend when she found out I had cancer...anybody and all quilt know here it's an honor to get one...her hubby got lucky. She turns 50 in a few years...I won't even make her one the way she treated me. Pami
