A love-hate relationship/ Una relación amor-odio

I waited long enough to have the time to hand quilt my SGQ. I'd say it's one of the quilts (that I have made) that I like the most. I love this quilt because it breaks with my light background quilts pattern, I wouldn't change that “Chinese Blue” background for any other color in the world. I also love it because I learned a lot about piecing curves along with the other ladies in the “Single girl support group.” There was lots of sewing and reaping!! At this point three fourths of my twin size quilt is almost done.

I'm getting faster and faster at it, dedicating only an hour to an hour and one half, or what ever a children' s movie lasts, really pays off. But at this point I really want to see it finished. I know that as soon as my sewing machine gets here, I'll put this baby aside, and who knows when I will truly finish it. I love it but I'm tired of it, I need it, but I want something different to stitch on. You see? It's a love-hate relationship.

Esperé por un largo tiempo antes de poder dedicarme a coser el acolchado de mi SG a mano. Diría que es uno de los quilts que más me gusta de todos los que he hecho. Me encanta que el fondo no es de un color claro como el resto de mis quilts, no cambiaría este “Chinese blue” por ningún otro color en el mundo. También me encanta porque fué con este quilt que aprendí muchísimo acerca de como coser curvas gracias a las chicas en el “grupo de apoyo para chicas solteras” [… suena muy chistoso en español] y apesar de ello, todavía tuve que coser y des-coser muchísimas veces!

Al momento llevo terminado el acolchado de casi tres cuartos del quilt. Con cada día que pasa me vuelvo más rápida y al dedicarle una hora y media o lo que dura una película infantil, es suficiente para sentir que avancé. La verdad es que ya quiero verlo terminado. Estoy casi segura de que el día que mi máquina de coser llegue, pondré de lado este proyecto y quien sabe cuando lo volveré a retomar. Amo este quilt pero ya me cansé de el, lo necesito, pero quiero algo diferente que coser. Ven? Es una relación amor-odio.

I understand that love/hate thing with quilts!!! But as someone outside of the dance-of-the-maker, I can just unequivocally love it!

Gill: I'll email you some etsy stores that do deliver the pattern to the UK. I hope it helps.

Celia: Tratare! pero la verda que con el calor de eta tu ciudad, cuesta mas trabajo, pero valdria la pena, no?!?!

Hi Dee:Thank you for your comment. Exactly! it was hard to imagine what it takes to hand quilt one of these until now. I love it too but wow!! It's lots of work!

love the way that your quilting creates interlocking circles. it's turning out beautifully. hang in there it will be done before you know it and then you'll be wanting to do another one~!

i've usually got a hand quilting project going at the same time as a piecing project so that if i get bored with one i work on the other. sometimes i have several different projects going simply because i do get bored so easily and need the variety.

I think I missed a diamond shape where four circles touch. i have to look it up on the pattern again.But I love it as well, and hopefully I'll pick it up as soon as I finish setting a bit more the house. I'm happy to hear from you Libby!! Hugs!! :)
