Oh gosh thank you ladies....I originally planned to quilt the little blocks in the manner of how Lesley did it...QAYG..but by machine. I recently changed my plans, but may be able to change them back...we'll see how it goes. But yes, Kathy...I didn't know how to do lots of the things required for some of the blocks in this quilt, like "y" seams, set in seams, curves, sharp pointy melons by applique...so I'm still not perfect at those things, but at least I CAN do them!
I say congrats on doing the whole thing by hand. I just can't imagine doing that! If I couldn't have PP'd a lot of the blocks, I'm not sure where I would be right now...
Lesley, every time I think...I'll just set it aside until I get some other stuff done....I think about you and your beautifully finished quilt and I jump right back in! :lol:
