My first quilt was a baby pinwheel - and I hand quilted it. But it was made of a seersucker-like puckery material. Sewing bias edges hard? It was for my first baby, and it was small, so it got finished.
And I made a couple of window draft killers that had tumbling baby blocks on them - not quilted because they had foam inside. - inset seams - no problem?
And they had to be finished - we were cold.
Then my daughter's quilt - she wanted a storm-at-sea pattern - or maybe that's the one I wanted to do for her. It got finished - years later. I didn't know it was supposed to be a difficult pattern. Quilting helped to flatten it.
Then I took a class and actually made a quilt for my son in a pattern called round the twist - a British expression for crazy - because it makes you crazy to do it. It got finished.
Since then - nothing finished - but 12 - count them, 12 projects on my walls -unfinished -right now.
