victoriasews Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Have you ever seen anything like this? Some of these seams are 4 inches, some blocks are topstitched on, and some layers are 3 deep. When I opened the quilt up, I asked what these flaps are and she said, "Oh you can trim those off if you want." I could make another quilt faster than trimming this one.

I didn't read Bonnie's response until I posted mine...) Too funny. OMG! YIKES!! Seriously... Fold that puppy up and bag it and ship it back to the customer and say no thanks...perhaps find a nice way to tell her no or suggest another quilter (one that you hate) Bonnie Botts just called me and found this cartoon on MQ Resource under Carla Barrett's story. Carla Barret is AMAZING!! Wow... I'm a "wanna=be=quilter=like=Carla=someday".... .... This is from Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lym95 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 BUT......being the MIRACLE worker that you are, you will quilt this and make it look nice and your customer will think "I did such a good job on that, maybe I will do another one". (neve having an inkling that someone ELSE made sense out of her mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 YIKES! Makes you wonder - What was she thinking??? IF (and that's a big if) you do quilt this, i would love to see what you do with it. I'm w/ MB, she will never understand that it isn't her piecing that makes that quilt, but the quilter who saved it for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I guess it will be strong once quilted with all that overlap. Glad it isn't my next problem Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Is that mess her quilt top or backing? And if that is her backing I'd hate to see the top. Yikes, what will you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 That's what I call a utility quilt. Just get 'er done and use it. I can hear the interview now: Do you want custom? Do you plan to enter this in a show? Do you want feathers, or geometric designs? How about SID? Give me a minute to calculate the cost. . .that would be 50 dollars per square yard plus batting, thread, and an extra 50 to trim the seams and square. Total $300, fifty percent down and the balance when you pick it up. Oh, I take cash only. Thank you very much for choosing "Quilt it Quick Quilting Company". :P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 My vote, along with most, is run as fast as you can or explain (very nice) how it needs to be fixed and then give it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
