Pastor Appreciation Quilt for a friend of a friends Pastor. I was asked several months ago if I would put these blocks together into a quilt. I was very hesitant. I love making things and giving them away. I don't love making something as a job. Make sense? So, she started sending me the blocks a few at a time. I waited till I got them all so I would know how many was coming. They were all different sizes. I had to come up with a common size to square them all up to. That ended up being 8x8". I could see this quilt was becoming bigger than I thought or bigger than I wanted to work with. I hung in there and keep on stitching. I went with a thin border between each block. The color I used is a Royal Purple. That's the color she wanted. After a few weeks of hard work, this baby is finished and in the mail.
I enjoyed seeing each block and how the kids decorated them. However, I did not enjoy putting this all together. Just glad it's done and I hope the Pastor loves it.
It looks awesome, you did a fantastic job
ReplyDeleteI am sure it will be greatly appreciated and you did a nice job on it.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I'm sure the pastor will appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Tonya...it will be so appreciated, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably harder to sew them together when you aren't designing and planning it yourself from the beginning (so it all fits, you know how many blocks, you know the person's tastes, etc.) But, I am sure the Pastor will love it!
ReplyDeleteHey, did you ever catch a Ceolocanth while fishing on Animal Crossing?
you did good! I understand how you would have a hard time making a quilt as a job where you do virtually none of the design part.
ReplyDeleteThe piecing and color selections are my favorite part of quilting.
It's lovely - and what a nice thing to do! I know what you mean, though, about it becoming a 'job'. As soon as someone else's expectations become part of the project, it isn't as much fun anymore. I hate being told what to do haha.
ReplyDeleteI am sure he will love it & all the hard work you put in to it you done a great job
ReplyDeleteHugs Janice
Tonya, you did a fantastic job. I just know that Pastor is going to love the quilt. How can he/she not.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and I know just what you mean! There is nothing I hate more than getting a commission! I end up with a total creative block!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet treasure for the Pastor ! So sweet!You can be proud of your part in it..looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean I would much rather just do something my way and if someone wants to buy it ..okay.
Hard to 'see' and create someone's mental pic of something.
