Do you ever wonder why you start a certain project? I am making a quilt for a Super King size bed. 63 squares and decided to put 4 corners on each square (252 corners in total) OK each corner should be 6 minutes to stitch out but with several colour changes,a lot of jump stitches and getting it in the right place it takes me one and half hour per square!!!!
I suppose this is going to be my longest ever project as I also want to embroider a bigger pattern on half of the blocks!
BUT.....I have finished all corners HOORAY!!!!!

Well good luck with this project. It takes much longer to complete work than one thinks. Look forwards to seeing the finished quilt in project sometime in the future

Just reading your post gives me a headache. LOL. I really admire you. I am sure that it will be beautiful when finished. Please post in Projects. Hugs Sarah.

I have regretted some brilliant ideas that I had for some of my quilts, and once started it all has to match so you grit your teeth and do the long haul.
Some Fancy stitching on the new Machine has a slow speed and that annoyed me ( lucky the foot pedal never went through the floor).
It all seems so simple in theory.
But nevertheless all is lovely when completed.
Happy Stitching!

I am sure that it will have all been worth it when you finish. Just pace yourself so you don't burn out and fold the unfinished top in a closet.;)

Oh, I have walked in your foot steps! How is it that a few minutes magically turns into several hours? In my mind I think I can "quickly" just stitch something up. Wrong. It doesn't matter really. As you finish each step along the way, take time to have a cup of tea (or wine) and look at and admire the work you have accomplished so far, and replenish you energy to tackle the next part!

I also have just started a huge king size quilt with machine embroidery in each block. I had no idea how much work I had made for myself but it will be gorgeous when it is finished :) Good luck with yours, I would love to see it when you are finished :)
