Slow going

I am a pretty QUICK quilter...
but some things Just take TIME!!!
 
This quilt is ONE of them!!!
It's teaching me patience.
 
I surely need more of that!
;)

These are my tools.
My Mission:
Get this one done for my daughter
before she gets married on
MAY 5!!!
Eeeek!
 
I've committed my Thursday mornings to the task.
No MATTER WHAT I feel like doing!!!
:/
 
Will it get done??
Inquiring minds would like to know...
SO....my friends....
would I!!!!
 
I began this quilt way back HERE!!!
I am appliqueing each finished circle
onto a BIG (bed sized) piece of muslin.
I baste them on...
then I applique them on.
I am NOT following the directions.
:/
Do I EVER????
Nah!
That would be too EASY!
LOL!

  6. That is a beautiful quilt and I can see why it has taken you so long, I think I might have quit by now, lol.
    I have a may deadline too, but for a baby quilt, just need to decided on a design.

  22. Sometimes when a project involves slower piecing methods it is well worth it in the end. Your quilt is going to be stunning and vibrant. Perfect for a young couple.
