I had to stretch the heck out of this one. DH doesn't iron his seams on these things and I think he cuts a lot of his scraps on the bias because I sure had a lot of trouble with the edges. I stitched a border around it for quilting purposes so that I would not pull out any seams. I don't know if it helped or not. I finally wound up floating the top and stretching it by hands as I basted it in. It turned out pretty good. I didn't really lay it out straight is why it looks lumpy. Its really not. The back looks great! I don't know how he has the patience to sew all of those tiny blocks. But, I can tell you that no scrap of fabric is wasted in this house. What do you think?

I am amazed at his patience. What does he do with all these quilts he makes?

That is amazing -- it must be fun to have a spouse who shares your hobby.

Right now, I have over 150 that need to be quilted. Only about 7 of them are postage stamp quilts. He is OCD. That is what drives him!! As I get them quilted, I plan to open an etsy shop and sell them real cheap. Its finding the time to quilt them that is the problem. I'll eventually get them done though. I'm taking in less outside work so that I can get some of ours done. Am enjoying the evenings that I can sit and hand stitch once again.

Looks great! OCD can be a good thing.
