My Creative Space.....

 
I despise this quilt. it has been unpicked and resewn so many times and it still is not square. The only reason it is getting finished is it was DJ's birthday present and he loves it. So the plan for this weekend is to tease it into being square. Buttons are for the middle of the crosses and perle to sewn them on with. Wish me luck! 

Edit: Friday Night and I have spent 7 hours today trying to finish this quilt with no luck! About to unpin and try again. Thank you for all the love, it is keeping me going (and keeping the quilt from being thrown in the fire!).

    Ah, too bad. I have a hard time working on things I don't like, but sometimes it has to be done. Good luck!

    good luck. It makes it soo hard when you are not really into it doesn't it. I've had custom orders like that and it takes me AGES to do them. But, like Kylie said, at least you know he will love it!

    'despise' in red... that is serious despise! I think it's important to note that DJ loves it, even though it's not square. Maybe perfect doesn't have to mean perfect. Good luck with getting it finished.

    I don't think one of my quilts has ever made it to square completely. At least it will be loved.

    good luck, i hate those projects that just get more and more frustrating. having said that i made a quilt for my son that is so far out of square it's ridiculous but he lives it so what the heck, the only time i notice is when i fold it
