Finished! This one was harder to finish. Just couldn't get the quilting right. Three attempts and unpickings later...... I put it aside for a day, then finished it today. Everything was better today. What was the difference? I don't know! Anyway, it is finished now and I like it. These latest two quilts are just small quilts. (32ish x 42ish?) Quite achievable, if you don't throw them across the room and lose them or stash them in a box because the quilting just doesn't seem to be happening. (This is my latest helpful hint for quilters. If you want to finish a quilt, you have to work on it. Obvious to some, but a helpful hint for others!) This was the second quilt I basted last week and now I need to baste some more. (I have two waiting next to my basting table) I want some other finishes to happen this week too. Aprons? Softies? Dresses? Bags? Hmm.......

You are going to be a busy beaver. I like the quilt
ReplyDeletenice work! wow....who knew you had to work on stuff in order to finish it....so that's what I need to do.....thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes when things aren't going right the best thing to do is leave it and come back to it another day or even another year :) You're going great, 2 finishes all ready.
ReplyDeleteYou are in a sewing mood! Love this quilt. Strange is it, one day it doesn't work and the next is does. Maybe sewing machines have days off too....
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - glad the quilting came together for you.
ReplyDeleteI have days like that too, where even though I think I'm in a quilting mood I'm obviously not because nothing goes right.
ReplyDeleteOn those days I use the chuck and swear method too!
It turned out beautifully and you're on fire with all these quilty finishes. I feel quite slack next to you !
Yeah I know- it's not a competition. I'm just feeling overwhelmed with projects and responsibiltiies at the moment.
Love the Fabrics in this one...Your on a Roll!!..Great Job.
