you'd never know it was giving you so much trouble - the finished product is stunning.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
you'd never know it was giving you so much trouble - the finished product is stunning.
I'd never own up to those problems except to friends here that I knew would understand. I think we've all had some block size issues along the way. This is not an original solution. I don't remember where I originally saw this idea but it's an excellent solution. Relieves a lot of stress, let me tell you.
Nanabirdmo, There was a time I would have tossed the whole lot over to you. :D Too kind of you to offer to send along a finished picture! Meanwhile, though, I've a daughter who's already laid claim to this thing. Sorry!
Thank you all again :D
Beautiful. No on would ever know you had issues, unless you tell them!!
What a great idea for making bolcks fit together.
Note to self: ALWAYS have plenty of extra background fabric - and keep it with the UFO it belongs to, so I don't use it up on another . . . errrrr potential UFO.
Good Note! I wish someone had told me! I ran out and had to change fabric for the last border. There are approximately 6 different white fabrics in this quilt. Oops! Plan ahead....Originally Posted by JoanneS
The ripening process worked!!! Great job, great quilt, I haven't seen many sampler quilts in bright colors, yours is beautiful.
Your quilt top is really beautiful.....sure cannot tell you had problems
What a beautiful quilt and what a great solution. I quite often have to put things away for a while (sometimes a LONG while) and come back to them and they tell me what to do to fix them :). I'll definitely keep this tip in mind :) Thanks.
Your quilt is really pretty! Thanks for sharing your solution to fixing off-sized blocks. :)
I agree with everyone. It's a beautiful quilt, love the idea of the coping strips, it's cheerful and if you didn't mention your "issues" no one would ever know. It looks planned. Great job.
