well, that was a disaster.

i tried. really i did. but there is only so much you can do before you have to walk away.

we went through all her fabrics and picked out a lovely pansy pattern, the we picked out some purples and greens as companion fabrics. that was when the trouble started.
this quilt is for one of my artist friends, her online name is acidflowers.
my mom wanted the quilt to be "lighter" she wanted pastel greens and pinks.
i wanted raspberies and forrest greens. we had a little compromise.
in the mean time, we put together a bunch of other quilts to be sewn later. she'd ask my opinion, but then decide how she wanted it, and i kept wondering what i was doing there. she kept up with patter about the "creative process" and how the fabric "speaks to her" and a bunch of other bullshit concepts that i thought i left behind in college art classes.

every choice i made was met with criticism.

that's it. no more projects with mom.
