So, granted, I probably took a bite way too big for me to chew as a beginner quilter, and this project has gone on for far too long, but one day when feeling overly ambitious I decided to make a double wedding ring quilt for a friend. Aye carumbah, what was I thinking! This thing has become a monster!
Over time it has slowly taken shape, from cutting out over a thousand strips of fabric for paper piecing the arcs, sewing them all on to one another, and making my rows; but alas it took me two hours to sew two rows together. I cannot for the life of me fathom how to sew curves, then right angles, then curves, then right angles, etc. 11 rows X 2 hours a piece = far too many hours for me to spend putting this face together! I am so frustrated, it is hard to get up the motivation to finish this quilt. I even laid it out to try and and see how beautiful it would be when put together hoping that would be my kick in the ass to finish, but no no no, it failed to work.
Now you all know what I have been working on FOR-EVVV-EERRRRR. Wish me luck in getting it done, even though it will not be technically sound :-( I hope if any of you have unfinished projects that are the bane of your existence, that you can find the motivation (which I can't) to finish your project!
Happy Tuesday!
