Then another friend was about to give birth and I took the quilt out and decided to finish it and give it to her as a gift, and this time I almost finished sewing all the squares together. But somehow I didn't finish it, again, and again the baby was three months old and again we bought another gift and again I left the quilt aside and forgot about it.
Then, a year and a half ago, when I was pregnant with the baby, I saw it sitting there and decided to finish it this time, no matter what. Miraculously, I did. A month before giving birth it was already washed, waiting for the baby.
And I have a feeling that somewhere inside, I just knew that this quilt, my first quilt (and let's face it, most probably my last quilt as well), should stay with me.

Deletestory of my life! you'll be glad you kept it!

very nice looking to say the least. I know that they take a lot of time to make but end product is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish I had the energy to make another one, I love quilts!
DeleteGreat job. I have a quilt in a box that I started for my daughter when she was 10 and she is 31 now maybe someday I will get it finished.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I thought I was the worst :)
DeleteCan I challenge you to finish it and share with us?
Thanks for stopping by!
That turned out really nice, I wish I had the talent and patience to do something like that!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It does require a lot of patience...
DeleteIve always loved quilts and wanted to try making one- but unfortunately Im not very crafty and i have a short attention span lol this post kinda underlined what I already knew- Im better off buying one lol thanks for saving me the money on wasted supplies!
ReplyDeletePS- Yours looks gorgeous though!
LOL! Thanks :)
DeleteIt was kind of an adventure, I'm very happy I managed to finish it at the end...
It looks beautiful and was meant to be yours! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I feel the same!
DeleteIt's beautiful! And good for you for finishing it! I'd love to attempt a quilt, but I know that I would probably never finish. Maybe I'll create my first (and probably last) quilt when my kids are out of toddlerhood.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI feel the same - it's not easy doing this kind of things with toddlers running around the house. Sometimes I actually fantasize about being old...
It's a beautiful quilt. It was just meant to be for you. Glad you were able to finish it at last. I'm now following on bloglovin :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) That's exactly how I feel!
DeleteI love your story...I'm especially prone to procrastination as well, except at Christmas time, when I'm frantically trying to catch up on all the homemade gifts I should have been working on year round, not just in November and December, lol. I love your beautiful quilt though, it must have definitely been meant for your little one.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I know, I also have those times of the year, when I find myself crafting like crazy, and other time when I hardly go into my craft room. Wish I just had the energy to craft all year round!
DeleteIt looks awesome! I love it Tal!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shay :)
DeleteCongratulations! You should think about quilting another because this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy! I actually promised two days ago to someone from a FB group that I will, one day, quilt another one. I will have to take a deep breath before, though...
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
