But, I do want this quilt finished. So I'm making it my October goal to piece the back. Once done, I'll be sending this off to a long-armer, because the thought of quilting this makes me want to hide under my bed!

October Goal: September 2.0
For what I believe is the first time, I didn't achieve my montly goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. My goal was to piece the back of my Stacking the Odds Quilt, as well as baste it.When I started working on the back, I got so frustrated. The quilt top is HUGE and there isn't even enough floor spacer to lay it out!
I became even more frustrated when I measured the portion of the pieced backing that I'd completed and found I was about 10 inches too short! So I did the only thing that made sense. I shelved the project and moved on to happier projects, like my Marcelle Medallion.

You mean the bed in the picture? I'd hide under that one any day. Look at that beautiful quilt on top of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous top - and will be beautiful when it's quilted but I don't blame you in the slightest for sending it out to the longarmer. A top that size would give me palpitations.
