Slow going

I am a pretty QUICK quilter...
but some things Just take TIME!!!
 
This quilt is ONE of them!!!
It's teaching me patience.
 
I surely need more of that!
;)

These are my tools.
My Mission:
Get this one done for my daughter
before she gets married on
MAY 5!!!
Eeeek!
 
I've committed my Thursday mornings to the task.
No MATTER WHAT I feel like doing!!!
:/
 
Will it get done??
Inquiring minds would like to know...
SO....my friends....
would I!!!!
 
I began this quilt way back HERE!!!
I am appliqueing each finished circle
onto a BIG (bed sized) piece of muslin.
I baste them on...
then I applique them on.
I am NOT following the directions.
:/
Do I EVER????
Nah!
That would be too EASY!
LOL!

    That is a beautiful quilt and I can see why it has taken you so long, I think I might have quit by now, lol.
    I have a may deadline too, but for a baby quilt, just need to decided on a design.

    Oh my goodness, I started that quilt along too! AND I just pulled it out again last weekend. I have 24 blocks done and just started putting them together. I'm hoping it will be big enough to call it finished. ove your fabrics.

    It is gorgeous Beth. Your daughter will love it (however if she is not keen, I will look after it for her - lol). I am sure you will get it done. You are a woman on a mission and May is 3 whole months away.

    I know I'd never be able to finish anything in just one morning a week, but you are alot faster at this than I am. Love the prints you are using! It's an ambitious quilt, it'll be worthy of a wedding gift.

    Sometimes when a project involves slower piecing methods it is well worth it in the end. Your quilt is going to be stunning and vibrant. Perfect for a young couple.
