Say NO to Quilt Guilt
After 3 years (or more?), Simon's quilt is finally done and on his bed where it belongs!
I ended up getting some "help" in finishing Simon's quilt, but I am so pleased with the end result! After I spent countless days/months stressing about how I was going to quilt it on my machine, I finally let go of the guilt and sent it off to be long-arm quilted. I found a lovely woman (www.quiltasdesired.com) in Dean Park to finish it for me and she did an amazing job! She even put a rush on it so it would be done by Simon's 12th Birthday - bless her! Simon was thrilled, I was thrilled, she was thrilled that Simon was thrilled... a win win!! YAY!
I've already started on Cameron's quilt. I bought a Batik jelly roll from a recent quilting show in Victoria. Love the colours!! But I'm not sure if I love the pattern I chose... it may be too random?? It's a "3 Dudes Quilting" jelly roll quilt pattern that I found from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. They have a bunch of really cool UTube videos for jelly roll quilts. Anyway, I've started sewing my strips together already so I don't think I can change my mind anymore. I'm sure it will be fine! If anything, it's easy enough that I should have it done quicker than 3 years from now!! :-)
