finish my quilt

But have to do something with it now.

when i was in high school i took a quilting class with my mom. the class only lasted about 4 or 5 weeks and seeing that we were learning to hand sew i didnt finish. this was about 6 or 7 years ago and im really close to being finished. i really want to finish it but im kind of stuck. i have 5 pieces or strips of the quilt and im not sure how to put the pieces together. if anyone knows please feel free to share.

I have all the fabric I need to finish to top, and I am now only 12 heart squares away! I will probably finish the top part of the quilt this week, and be ready to put it all together very soon. This quilt has been so long in the making, I will be so happy to see it finally finished and on my bed.

This is going to goto the quilter by the end of the month. I want to enjoy this quilt on my bed.

I’ve made several quilts in my life time. I’m putting more love into this latest one and have been working on it for years. Just using scrap materials for the pieces and making it a bit different with a Celtic look. It has been theraputic to put this together. It lets me be creative and my time is actually spent making something useful.

Then I just have to fix all the rips in it and figure out how the heck to finish it. Yay.

11/64 blocks!

It is all sewin together. I just need to find someone to quilt it. I really love it and can’t wait to put it on our bed. Then I can check another item off my list of what I want done before the baby is born.

I have all the pieces cut out, and I even have two squares put together. I have everything I need to finish this project, except for time and motivation. I am so busy most of the time, I just want to veg out in front of the TV when I don’t have anything else to do. Gah! Why must I be so lazy?

I even cut and ironed the bias binding. I just need to sew it on. Unfortunately, it all has to be done by hand (on a twin-size quilt) because my sewing machine currently can’t handle that much material or any type of quilting (I still need to buy the even-feed foot – this quilt was hand tied to avoid needing to quilt). Hand sewing makes my hands cramp up and takes so long, I just can’t motivate myself to do it! I know that once it’s done, it’ll look so much better (it’s currently all laid out on the bed in our spare bedroom, since we’re trying to sell our house, so it’s on display all the time), and I just need to push myself to get it done.
