Here is a quilt I made for my nephew for his high school graduation.
What did I tell you about not keeping a perfectly clean house in that last post?
This is the back. I decided I would do wonky log cabins in case he didn't like the more traditional look on the front. Hated it! It wasn't very fun for me. This backing showed me that I am not really a fan of making liberated quilts. It was not really relaxing for me. Everybody's different!
I loved these fabrics all stacked together but I was so over it when I was finished! I think that's just the thing with me and big quilts. I am really tired of them when I'm finished, no matter how beautiful I thought things were to begin with. Reason #42 my King Sized bed only has a duvet cover on it!
What do you think it is, about the big ones? Is it the cutting, piecing or quilting? I have found that the actual cutting is the thing that drives me to madness. However, I am too economical to use exclusively precuts.
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky log cabins; they went just perfectly :)
Well you know I do not like to start new things with unfinished things still going...so I start to feel trapped. I hate basting the worst. Basting is terrible. I found a basting gun at Tuesday Morning for $4 and bought it. I will do a review on the blog once I get up the courage to try it. So far every quilt seems too important to use as a guinea pig.
