I have begun "Sunday Ride." I have done a much better job than I thought I would do with the blanket stitches. Far from perfect, but I was questioning whether I could do them at all. I am unhappy with the middle sunflower's stem not being centered. I have thought about taking it apart and trying to get it better but in the past with quilting, I have found that I often make things worse if I mess with it too much. So I will probably leave it alone. This quilt is a block of the month and I don't get the next block until the 15th of each month. So now I have to learn patience. It will take about a year to complete. UGH! I don't know how I can wait that long to see my completed quilt.
When I first saw quilts that were appliquéd, I never thought I would be able to even attempt one. Now I foolishly picked a hard one for my first try. But I love the quilt, so it will be worth it even if it's not perfect. Mario and my boys are asking for me to give it to them, but this one is all mine. Besides, it's girly anyway. Funny thing is, my daughter is the only child that hasn't asked for it. But like I said, this will be a perfect quilt for my beach house.
