I have seriously unpefect days. In FACT I finished my center, no pattern either just a block I saw and tried to enlarge.. this is where trouble starts see my math abilities are well not high up there on the real life scale and I could not figure how to make a five row quilt measure up with 4st's so I had to cut down blocks then I sewed them together. except I was at 20.5 inches. argh pirates so I sew on a 2.25 inch border on each side thinking I would get 24.5 but tada I blew it again.. 24" so long story short I am sending a center that is .5 inches too small so the person receiving it now has a 5" round to do and I am very sorry I am so frustrated I don't know how my brain did not either measure right the first time, second time or tada the third time. We all have those not perfect days Sandy. Its all good in the end. My quilt is a blue and white and silver quilt fabric by Robert Kaufman pattern is IMPERIAL its really pretty Asian fabric. reminded me of .. china plates and since its for my son's girl I am calling it "China Doll" as she is so pretty and so emotionally delicate.. Please use the colors in the fabrics only and once you see the pic let me know if you think I should send a yard of fabric with it of one of the three I used in case you would like to toss some more in as you go I think its a good idea myself so that some of the silver in it comes out in other rounds too.. Jan is posting so as soon as she can it will be one here yahoo!
