Don't make quilts for your mom
Finished Quilts
My mother and I have a difficult relationship. It's been strained for a long time but has improved over the last year and a half. Well, every time I saw her she'd constantly say "I'm still waiting for my quilt". Keep in mind I never told her I'd make her a quilt, she just expected it. So finally I gave in and made her one. She picked the pattern and the colours. Great. Done, gave it to her (pictured here) and the first thing she starts saying is that the square in the middle needs something. "It should say mom. How about a red heart? Do you have any red fabric?" I assumed she was joking and just laughed it off. A few days later she texted me the same thing, that the quilt needs something in the middle, and how about the text "best mom ever". At this point now I'm laughing at how delusional she is but also annoyed that I spent my time making this quilt for her. So the moral of the story is folks, if you don't want to make a quilt for someone, don't do it. No matter how much they pressure you. That is all.

This pattern is Old Market Square by The Blanket Statement

This cake design is inspiring, but I'm not skilled or creative enough to replicate it. Quilters might appreciate this idea, though!
