Here it is! My GP Reject quilt!
The story behind the quilt: my roomie was an interior designer for a famous celebrity w/ the initials GP. I'll let you figure that out. Anyway, after roomie showed GP all of the fabric samples for drapes, curtains, etc, she had these unwanted & rejected samples and gave them to me. I then started to hand sew the first few patches earlier in the year and would pick it up every now & then. And since I've been home & have so much free time, my Mom & I have been working on it.
Making a quilt is hard, time consuming & requires much patience. I don't usually have that much patience as I like quick projects where you can see your work immediately. When I was frazzled, up to my elbows in pins, needles & batting, my Mom quickly reminded me how one goes about eating an elephant.
The quilt is not quite done yet- I might want to add a few buttons on the corners where my impatience is visibly noticeable and also to help bind the whole thing together. Thanks roomie, GP & Mom!
