Buggy Barn Crazies

Oh, how I remember making this quilt. We were living in WI and I had a little sewing/laundry room in the basement. Every night after the boys went to bed I would hurry to the sewing machine. I would sew until Mark would come home from working late. Or if he was out of town , it was not uncommon for me to sew until 2-3AM...losing track of time. I remember reading the directions to this pattern a million times. I have a fear of cutting the fabric wrong and then not having enough to finish the quilt. You had to cut in all these different angles and then move certain pieces certain new places. Mumbled controlled chaos. And you think sewing all those different angles was a picnic? No way! And then pressing all the seams. I started this quilt the end of October and it wasn't totally finished until March of the next year. But I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It is one of my favorite quilts, no doubt. It seems to impress people the most.
