Some fly together in flashes of inspiration, but others can take up hours and hours of time (not to mention the yards and yards of fabric) and still fight you all the way to the last stitch on the binding. Some quilts are labors of love, while others call forth emotions of a far less complementary nature. “The Misery Quilt” is truly living up to its name at this point, inspiring those “less complimentary” emotions at every turn. Last week, I threw in the pencil and got back to the machine to stitch up what I thought would be the perfect borders for this quilt. I put two of the finished borders on it last night, and I wasn’t happy with it. Again. I decided a retreat to my bed was in order, since it was late, and I was hoping things would look better in the light of day. [...] […] Some quilts are meant to be, and some aren’t.

It's a pack called Art Nouveau 2. No pattern, just makin' it up as I go, which is part of the problem, of course!

I would buy this "pattern". I need to break out my embroidery component of my 440 but just haven't yet. Love the birds! Kelly I really love your birds Nadine. I would buy this “pattern”.
