That Unfinished Quilt

You know, the one you just don't want to work on? For me it is the quilt we made in my Beginning Quilting class. I know why I don't want to work on it. I don't like it. The colors don't appeal to me. they don't really coordinate. I don't love the pattern either. It's a bit...traditional? for me. Sigh. I finally worked on it this week, after finishing up quilting on quilt #5, a surprise gift, which is why it isn't blogged yet. I just have to add the outside border to the quilt and I promise to post photos since it is technically my first quilt, although it will end up on the site at Quilt #6, I think. (Unless I get distracted by another one...like that Mr. Roboto kit I picked up with the help of Amy Smart.)

Quilts #3 and 4, since I know you're wondering, were Drew's quilt and another gift quilt I haven't blogged yet. I'm really torn about Quilt #4. I am struggling to quilt it and while I know from my Quilt #5 quilting experience that it will look fine when it's done and washed and scrunchy, I'm just not happy with it. I'll probably blog it after the weekend.

We're heading up towards Tahoe to hang out with some work friends for the weekend. We're looking forward to lazing, hiking, swimming, and hopefully just relaxing.

For now, I'm off to bed! It was a very long day of work.
