I do so hate it when you have an inspirational moment (like your little fussy cut elephants) when you have nearly finished something. But turns the end result looks great and I definitely didn't think 'bullseye' when I saw your finished quilt!Gillian Grimmetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913814645119678560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246252265512566728.post-79767477597207968612013-01-21T09:12:23.108-05:002013-01-21T09:12:23.108-05:00I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself -...I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself - it looks really good!

It's happened to all of us. I have a quilt top that I have refused to touch since retreat last year because I haven't been able to get it to lay straight, the fabric provided (it was a Fat Quarter Shop BOM) had a burn hole in it, and so much more. At some point I know I'll go back to it, but for now, it stays in the closet. <br /><br />Put this one aside, and when you need some mindless, carefree quilting on something you don't really care about because you can't hate it any more than you already do, pull it out.

Rest assured, to the casual observer this quilt looks awesome and you are probably just suffering from having spent so much time looking at it and thinking about it. Also I know that quilting has been painful, but from my perspective it looks amazing. !! I'd just keep plugging away. You will feel delighted to have it finished and not lingering as a UFO.parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575452424350710785noreply@blogger.com
