I was tempted though…

A quick follow up to the post T-Shirt Quilt Assembled – today, two days before Christmas, I received in the mail John’s T-shirt quilt from the longarm quilter (who had longarm machine quilted an all over pattern).

Fresh out of the box…

I was tempted for a moment to get it trimmed (remove overhanging extra binding and backing), assemble the binding, attach the binding and then attempt to sew down the binding/complete binding the quilt 2 days before the holiday so I could give it to John on Christmas.

Nope. I went ahead and showed John the quilted quilt and put it away to deal with until after the holiday! He knows it is eventually coming into his life to snuggle under…

I also had a couple of last minute gifts I was going to make and then decided this year no last minute crafting. (The intended gift recipients won’t know what they did not receive!)

Perhaps I will be better prepared next year – ha!
