Here it is the end of July, and still haven’t finished Kim’s Kwilt. (When I first started this post.) And the final deadline was May 20! Majorly disappointed with myself. But, I’ve been so busy with the girls, nannying, and full time taxi-ing for DD1, that I have felt like a chicken with its head cut off. Sorry Carmen!
Now she has a car again, {DD1, not Carmen!} and steady day care, so maybe I can git ‘er done before Winter!
Update: I finished the infamous kwilt, on Saturday, Oct 22, 2016!!
I’m almost having a headache from that lattice pattern spinning!
The back, above. The front, below.
It was already folded in half, cuz I wanted ya to see my face!
And all the angels sang: “Hallelujah!!”
And all the readers screamed “YES! Finally we can quit hearing her whine about that pesky kwilt!!”
And SF mailed it that next Monday.
And she (DD2) liked it! She really liked it! She said, and I quote, “Thanks, it’s awesome.”
Okay, now that is off my mind!! I can go on to the rest of my quazy quilt queue. And it’s a long one!!
- Shirley’s. My brother commissioned this one when they were dating. Their first anniversary was back in August. This is my progress so far.
Getting there!! So close!!
- PP’s Panda quilt. DD1 commissioned this one in 2014. Ahem (Can’t find the pieces. EEK!!)
- The Campbell twins. They’re only 5 months old, and I have all the squares cut out already, so hey, doing really well on this one!
Oops! No I don’t have all the squares cut out. I have 3/4ths of the squares cut out!
This fabric has me flummoxed!! I want each square to be 1 flower, (or “buttehfy”, as PP called them), but how do I do that without the squares going wonky?? I surely AM NOT gonna cut each one individually by hand!
So, I’ll just be as careful as I can…….
- A bigger quilt for PPJr. Her wonky quilt is WAY too little for her already, and she’s only 8 1/2 months old!! (Haven’t even decided on the fabrics yet. Yeah.)
- Aulani’s. She was born about 12 weeks ago, and I’ve already done this much.
Woo hoo! On a roll here!
Then, I wanna do one for .. STOP!! What? Why?? Until you get all those done, I’m officially declaring a moratorium on saying you’ll make more! You can’t do that! I think I can, cuz I just did!
NO MORE QUILTS
Well then, yes ma’am! I’ll get back with ya on my next recipients, soon as I’m done with these. So, mid 2027, would you say?? That’s kinda mean. Is it mean if it’s true?? Well, it has been true so far…..
