I made my goal! I finished another quilt today. It took me all day, but I did it!
I have 2 more quilts planned to make. No, neither will be done by next Friday---in fact, I will be lucky to have the material ironed and cut for them.
On another note--as long as it's not cancelled, we have sewing club at church next Tuesday. Chances are that one of the quilt tops that I completed, will be completed into a quilt by the other lady's at club.
I am not a master quilter, nor will I ever be....in fact, only one quilt I've ever made came off without a hitch. On this one, as I was ironing the top, I found a small rip (or cut if my grandson is guilty) in a strip piece. It was in such a place that I couldn't fix it with my machine so I hand stitched it together. Then, the blanket wasn't quite big enough to go from side to side.....then, when I went to take the photo and folded the corner over, I had sewn in a pin! It was a pin with a small ball top. We got the pin part out but the little ball is in the edging.
Despite flaws, it's being listed for sale in my etsy shop.
Your fabrics are wonderful. Congrats on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and it has an interesting story! The pin ball could be an added feature! Thanks for linking up tonTGIFF! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colour palette and design of your quilt! Just think of the ball as texture. ;) Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for describing the things that can go wrong! Pardon me, it made me laugh. I'm glad that I am not the only one who gets into these sorts of messes. The quilt is very nice! (I have yet to make one, but it's a goal.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the quilt completion, Marsha! Not to worry about imperfections... to me, these make a handmade item more valuable.
ReplyDeleteNice Finish! It's fun to craft isn't it? Even if you don't get your 2 quilts completed, its still progression to get them cut out; every bit is an accomplishment I think! Looking forward to seeing what you might craft next!
