There is no reason really this quilt should have taken two years. It was different from what I have done before and I will never make a quilt like this again, but I really have no excuses for it taking so long. I started out with lots of big L's baby/toddler clothes, cut up my favorites and started piecing them together in the hopes they would make a rectangle. HAH! I am not that good or patient, so it is not quite square. Note to self, even if pieces could be smaller make them a uniform size. Note taken.
Also, I used binding on the edges, which I realize is how you are supposed to make a quilt, but I HATE binding, it just never works right for me. Or maybe I was just impatient to finish this monstrosity and be done.
Anywho, here it is, after two years, big L's quilt.
 |
| The top looks a little wonky. That is my inability to make a rectangle out of the mess I cut. |
 |
| This would be the first sweater she ever buttoned by herself, hence the importance of keeping the buttons. |
 |
| The back. It actually looks mostly normal, just one area of bunching. |

I am not overly proud of my quilt, but after pointing out all of the areas I could rip out and do again L said, "NO! It is comfy the way it is!" What can a mother say to that?
