Coulda Shoulda Woulda

 

OK, It's a flimsy.

It's enormous.

Did I mention it's ENORMOUS! 

E-N-O-R-M-O-U-S

E-N-O-R-M-O-U-S  

It's gigantic.

It's WAY TOO FREAKING BIG.

I spread it over the bed and it hung down two feet over the end of the bed. I knew I'd never get it quilted because there would never be any place to put it.

And I knew I wasn't going to take it apart because I just don't have that kind of patience or motivation. I thought, I should have sewn it together to make it 60 x 72 inches. The blocks would have been 3 x 3, but I like the LOOK of the 4 x 4 blocks.

Well when something aggravates me that much, I know enough to know I have to put it away and do something else. I finished sewing it together after swim class, but I hadn't taken a shower yet, so I figured that's what I would do. Take a shower.

And somehow, taking my clothes off and getting ready to get into the shower, I figured out what I could do. 

I laughed.

It's EVIL! It's DEVIOUS! It's DANGEROUS and DESTRUCTIVE.

It's INSANE.

It's perfect.

I haven't done it yet, but I can't wait to get started.

  3. Looks like a KING SIZE quilt to me!! The colors are beautiful, the way they flow together!! Good Luck with your decision on how to use it.

  4. Giggling to myself 🙃 … I know what you’re going to do …. And it will assuredly freak out the quilt police while being fabulous and 100% a Lynne kind of move. 😎.

  5. I had to go back to the origin to learn that the blocks are 16" so, yes, that is a big one! The only solution that comes to mind is turning into a curtain for a huge picture window....and I'm probably way off.

  6. Evil, devious, dangerous, destructive, insane, and perfect? All I can think of is you are going to chop it up and re-assemble it. Or remove one row, but that doesn't seem to fit some of the descriptions you used. Or did you think of a way to re-sew all the blocks smaller somehow? Can't wait to see what you came up with!
