The back is just fantastic too. <br /><br />I have just been through a similar journey with a quilt that was for a gift, although mine spent quite a bit of time in the cupboard until I could bring myself to get on with it! It is such a relief when you finish it and step back and realise that you love it after all. I try to convince myself that the tucks of fabric caught on the back are part of what makes it us; because we still offer it up as a token of our love and friendship. Sorry, hope I'm not getting too soppy!!Michelle @ the quilted tortoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719802145673735205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-73963278590235039732011-12-10T19:46:03.645+00:002011-12-10T19:46:03.645+00:00Sometimes finishing a quilt and being able to see ...Sometimes finishing a quilt and being able to see the whole thing and not just the parts you're working on changes your perspective of it again .

I usually get to a stage when I feel overwhelmed by the make and then it's so wonderful to get to the finish it feels like each quilt is the best I've ever made! <br /><br />I am envying your motivation. I have had a bag cut out for over a week now and it's just sat on the ironing board waiting for me to get it finished.
