Michael
left before 9 AM for a variety of stops: routine doctor’s visit, Triple A
(about our trip next year), CVS, WALMART (where he called to say he was having
fun walking around!) and the car wash. I headed downstairs, determined to make
progress on the latest customer quilt.
Now, I’ve done 2 quilts with excellent tension…but this one was wonky
right off the bat. So, I had an extended
ripping session, then worked on my tension, did a couple more samples and kicked
it off again and this time everything worked.
I had company…and just like her predecessor, Ethel is sleeping on the
softest surface she can find….the 2 newest quilts:
I continued to sew on the Half Log Cabin
while the quilt was stitching out…and by dinnertime the quilting was done:
and
I had all of the patriotic blocks sewn into rows:
Well,
I’m glad I put the rows back up on the design wall before sewing them together
because I definitely have a mistake! Can
you see it? It’s in the bottom right hand
quadrant….I’ll give you till tomorrow to find it :~).
So, as you might imagine, once Michael left for the movies, I did a bit
of ripping, then re-sewing.
Well, I think the small strips of fabric are different. On the right side the fabric is blue with a small star design and the left side it’s more of a periwinkle blue.

Next to last row one block in - with a little coaching!!
ReplyDeleteI cheated and went back to the first pic of it. It does look different but it is not just the right hand quadrant. But I like it this way. It looks 3 dimensional.
