Even though I'm cursing my decision because of the lack of time, I'm loving the mix of the hand stitching combined with the machine quilting. Will I get it done for Thursday night? Any wagers?

It Seemed Like Such A Good Idea At The Time
The hand stitching, I mean. At first it was just going to go here and there, but then I liked it a lot. So I decided to do it for all the pieces. And then machine quilt ~ 1/8" apart. Yeah. That's a lot of hand stitching AND a lot of machine quilting...for a project that I'm hoping to have finished for TGIFF!, which I'm hosting this week.

ReplyDeleteI love your stitching - beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! Yes you will finish :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Don't stop. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat they said^. gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt will be so worth it, it looks gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Keep going with the hand quilting. Would it be cheating to say on Friday that you've finished, and then decide later to add a bit more hand stitching?
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love when you get so ambitious right before a deadline? I am in the same boat right now too, so I am feeling your pain. But Marly (above) has a great idea! But no matter what the stitching looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it will be done on time but it looks fantastic!! I love the mix of hand and machine quilting!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic!! Good luck! I'm betting on you!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am curious to see the whole thing. I am loving those colors, stitches and the waviness of it all. I don't know how large this item is, so I am thinking if it's not a king size quilt, that you will "get 'er done".
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing M-R!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am sure you will - and when it is done I will celebrate with a piece of chocolate for you ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. You can do it!!! There are many projects I've started that sounded like a great idea at the time.......
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens with good ideas! They always get out of control but we love every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteWow this is wonderful - I love it and the colours are gorgeous together. Maybe you do selected areas around the quilt and fillin the blanks later. It is fabulous and so very very pretty - it was or should I say IS a good idea. I often think that I wish I could buy time at the same time I buy fabric to make my project.!! Good luck - can`t wait to see how you get on with it.

Ohhhh this is stunning! Really lovely effect, I adore it.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely gorgeous. I wish you luck finishing it and keeping your sanity/getting some sleep. :)
ReplyDeleteNo need to rush this. The mix of hand and machine stitches is wonderful. Who cares if it does not get finished Friday. Enjoy the process, MR, and you will be thrilled with the result, whether it is done this Friday, or some other Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome, even if it's not a finish, it'll be a win in the end.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely beautiful. I hope you'll continue that way. Maybe you could finish something smaller for this Friday. I also love the layout you chose with the gray both at the top and bottom. It was my favorite one.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this one in all it's glory!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be simply stunning, I can;t wait to see the finish!
