I mean who would pay big bucks to buy fabric, just to cut it up and spend hours sewing it back together again? And if that wasn't enough, then you have to make a sandwich, and sew some more on top of all your sewing! And then, you might as well start a few other quilts, so your quilt won't be lonely. I should know - my quilts are definitely not lonely.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1149515487211023742006-06-05T08:51:00.000-05:002006-06-05T08:51:00.000-05:00I hope nobody but you reads this comment, because ...I hope nobody but you reads this comment, because I'm going to go against the grain here and say: YOU CAN DO IT! Your first quilt, YAY!!! You're not crazy. Cutting all the pieces is most of the work, and you've done that already. You're halfway there. The fabrics you've chosen look great...it's going to turn out beautifully. Wish I lived closer, I'd come over and cheer you on. And actually, a deadline is a good thing, because it means you'll be motivated to get it done. Do you know how many unfinished quilt tops I have hanging around here?

I also like to take shortcuts, though. Here's one (and please don't yell at me, all you quilters): You could back it with a flat sheet - maybe one that you already own, or one at a discount store (Marshall's, TJMaxx, Ross - not sure what you have on your side of the country.) I read someplace that backing a quilt with a sheet was wrong and bad and wrong and bad and yes, wrong AND bad, but I did it with my first quilt, and have no regrets. And yeah - when it's all said and done, handmade quilts get REALLY expensive. I'm all for 1/2 inch seems, too. Have fun with it - it's going to look GREAT!lindiepindiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816762280113294563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1149259003177530322006-06-02T09:36:00.000-05:002006-06-02T09:36:00.000-05:00$72!! holy cow, well, the quilt does look really ...$72!! holy cow, well, the quilt does look really NICE! <BR/>before babybug was born we used to watch all the L&O shows. a couple of weeks ago i watched svu (cause i love mr. big) and it was so violent. husband made babybug stay in the other room. is it getting more graffic and perverted or did i just forget it was always like that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-1149220553198885612006-06-01T22:55:00.000-05:002006-06-01T22:55:00.000-05:00This is really funny.

The same thing just happened to me: I just decided I was going to make a picnic blanket for my mom with beachy fabrics, I ordered all the fabrics online, I found a cute pattern for the perfect throw, which I realized is a quilt... and I've never made a quilt before! And I have 4 weeks. My heart is set on it now, so too bad about all the sleep I'll miss, I guess.

I wonder if it is because I don't want to lay awake in bed and worry? Or if it is because I feel so out of control with all that is going on that I just want to have accomplished something?
