#2 here. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was quilting too. I think I may have bitten off more than I can metaphorically chew. I am an amateur quilter, at best. I took one class and had a good time so naturally I would think I was a pro now. Or course, we made a baby sized quilt in the class. That brings my total number of completed quilts to two. The store that I took the class at offers a "block of the month" type of program and, now that I am a pro, I decided to participate. Boy, I am super smart (or a sucker for punishment)! I thought I was doing awesome when I got my first block last month. I cut out all my pieces and stitched them together... Then I un-stitched a little, then restitched... Then un-stitched... Well, you get the idea. Eventually I had a pretty acceptable block completed and I was feeling pretty proud of myself. And I still had 3 weeks until my next block. So jump ahead 3 weeks to this past Tuesday. I go in to collect my next block and what do I find out?? There were supposed to be 2 blocks last month and there are two blocks this month. I now have 3 blocks that I need to complete this month and these blocks are even more complicated than the first block. Oh, the agony! Add these 3 blocks to the 3 pillowcases, my sofa cushions (which I mentioned a week or so ago) and the weekend challenges and I will be lucky to see the month of June. I think I might end up pushing a project back a month (ahem... sofa cushions). Not to worry though, I will do my best to not let you down. I will try to meet the deadlines my sis and I set here.
Now that I have included you all in my quilting woes I will be sure to keep you apprised of my progress. Who knows, I might even post pictures if my blocks aren't too embarrassing.
Wish me luck!
