Just call me crazy….DWM

I had a coupon so I stopped by JoAnn’s to for a little look see. And I found this:

Coast Guard fabric! My brother served on the Coast Guard after high school and his birthday is next week. Hmmmm… I am going to Wisconsin to visit my family this weekend and will see him. Could I? Should I? Am I crazy?

Yep. I washed fabric, cut pieces, and started stitching late last night. I need to get the top done and loaded into the frame by bed time tonight if there is a prayer to get this done before Thursday. I also need to work this week, do laundry, and get ready to go. But I know he will love this….

I am linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday.

    Could you? YES! Should you? YES! Crazy? Nah! Just livin’ on the edge. Besides, it feeds our passion when we push a deadline and win! I’m cheering for you on this one!

    You can do it, just think of “The Little Engine That Could.” Anxious to see your progress. I have never seen Coast Guard fabric and your brother definitely deserves one of your quilts.

    I think that you can do this. I made a quilt top in a day with determination and very little interruptions. Plus, you have a quilting machine or a fast way to get it quilted…..piece of cake!!!

    And there is always Christmas. But I bet you get it done. Have a great time with family.

    Yep you’re definitely crazy, but I sure hope you get it done. What a great fabric find. It’s a sure sign that he was meant to have this quilt. Good luck. And hey if you don’t finish for his B-day this year, it will be just as wonderful next year 🙂
