Didja ever have a quilt that seemed to be working out beautifully and then it just goes kablooie on ya? :cry:

I joined a Guild back in March and they were working on a BOM - so I got caught up and got the last block finished the other day - then it comes time to put it together and I think gremlins showed up in my sewing room.

First of all, I like to hang my WIPs on the clothesline and take pictures and print them out - which is a good thing, because I did that with this yesterday and last night while looking at the picture I realized that one of the half-triangle blocks in the Jacob's ladder was turned wrong :!: :shock:
So had to rip that out and fix it -

Then it just doesn't seem as 'nice' as I want it to be... but it's as nice as it's going to get! :mrgreen:

I'm going to take this 'out' to get it quilted - it's huge and I have no desire to fight with it (anymore)


This is a Religious themed BOM, with huge blocks (15") Some of mine wound up only 14.5 so I outlined each block and then trimmed to 16"... made it a whole lot easier to do the sashing...
I really like the star sashing - it's easy and looks really dramatic..

This is the "Journey" fabric from Hancock's...... so I said the quilt is for a "Spiritual Journey"
