Well I thought I was done this bit yesterday, until I realised I’d sewed 2 of the rows on backwards. There was much muttering under my breath of an awful lot of sweary words. I briefly considered just leaving it, but the colours were just too unbalanced :o/ So the seam ripper and I got friendly and hit the quilt…
Anyway, here’s the current stage:
The next step is to do the scrappy border and then the white border – argh, I have no more room to display this!!! As it is I’ve already had to add a board to the end of the sofa. The only obvious place for this is my gran’s living room floor, alas, as it’s her birthday pressie, that would rather render the surprise less than surprising! I do promise to get a final photo there on her birthday though.
Right, onto the goodies for the swap. I’ve spent all day tinkering with sketches for one of them and I think I’ve worked it out now.
The quilt is looking good.
Back in the days when I was a tailor I discovered that using a knife instead of a seam ripper goes much faster. Just a note for future mishaps. This is going to be one beautiful quilt. Hugs
This quilt is beautiful Katy.
Oh my, you are up to speed! You deserve an award! The one QAL I did is sitting in the pile of to-be-basted quilts haunting my studio. Oh well.
I can't wait to see it when it's done! I like your blocks and colours. 🙂
What a lovely present it will be!
Wow, Katy, it's really pretty! You are so gifted! Hugs, Janice
What a beautiful gift made with love.
Thank you all :o)
It's looking quite sweet. And what a present!
That's just the sort of thing that I would do – so annoying to have to get out the seam ripper, but you'll be glad you did!
