I can’t wait to see it! I’m sure it looks great!!
I’m working on a baby quilt too. I’ve been working on it for a while. The blocks are way more annoying to make than I had expected it to be. It needed a million half square triangles and I had kind of forgotten I don’t like those. It’s coming along nicely now, I wish I could show a picture! I haven’t been crafting much lately and one big reason was that this project was on top of the pile and I had really started to hate it.
It was intended to be a gift for the youngest child of a childhood friend and their wife, but honestly… relations have always been tense with the wife and they have gotten more complicated. I don’t really want to send my hard work to someone I dislike so much. The bought gift is enough. Then, a dear childhood friend of Mr Imma, who I also like a lot, announced her pregnancy this week! We hadn’t seen that coming but we are so happy for her. So I’ve decided that the finished quilt will go to her instead and I immediately felt relieved and much more optimistic about finishing it.
It’s a complex situation with the childhood friend. If the man/wife-roles were reversed it would certainly be called an abusive marriage. I grew up in an abusive marriage and my mother didn’t leave until I was an adult, because she had no place to go to. I’ve kept in touch with the friend for all of their 10 years of marriage to give them an exit. But the negative energy has cost me so much. I’m sticking with Christmas and birthday gifts/cards but I can’t keep pretending to like that bigoted, spiteful woman.
