Update on the Winter Lace (or my case Winter Storm)....
SEVERAL units in the body of the quilt are off mega bad... thus literally disassembling the entire quilt.... keeping the perfect pieces and using the usable bad pieces to make good smaller pieces (thus not losing all that "perfectly good fabric") and then cutting new larger pieces that are perfect. Also, I will be cutting each piece with my quilting ruler at 1/4" seam allowance so that it is accurate (not using the edge of the paper pattern as my guide - error #1) Then I will make sure my stitching is exactly 1/4" (error #2) which SHOULD mean that my points match. Then when I complete a unit, I will measure with my 6.5" quilter's ruler to make sure that the unit is square (error #3) After construction of 9 units, I will measure to make sure that the 18.25" x 18.25" block is square (error #4) When I have joined three blocks together, I will take the measurement across the top and again across the bottom... they should be equal (error #5)... If I do all of this with every step, this quilt should be quilt contest ,blue ribbon, best of show worthy! No I'm not entering it in a competition... just going to be as accurate as I can be so that I can say I did my best.
Oh and dd said she'd like it by Christmas (she didn't say WHICH Christmas - ha ha)
