Lmc8 that's a great solution, I wish I knew to do that when I started trying to fix it the first couple times. Unfortunately I've already ripped those seams a couple times and the fabric isn't going to take any more fussing with it. This morning I went ahead and sewed a piece of the sashing on the edge. It made a difference, the fault isn't as obvious as it was when it was just sticking out there. I'm not feeling as bad about it now as I was earlier. I think when the border is completed it will still be there but it won't be obvious.
I am definitely saving that tip for if I have a problem like this again though.
Today's Mail:
Orangeroom: Your blocks showed up today. I love the orange fabrics you chose! Very cheerful!
GreyQ: I love the fabrics on your blocks too! Very colorful and appropriate for the quilt!
Miriam: Your mother's block arrived today too and I love everything about it. She still has a great eye for fabrics and her sewing is still better than mine! I love the signature too. I think "Grandma" says everything that needs to be said.
So far I've been doing the sewing. Olivia is still learning to treadle and really doesn't like it right now. I think she's just frustrated with it.
We'll set up her Singer 101 and she can sew some of the sashing on that. What's a sweatshop without child labor anyway?
Thanks everyone!
