OK.. I'll try to make a long story short..I sent log cabin strips out over a year ago to be taken on a Motorcycle relay for a friend who had an almost fatal accident. I sent (I thought) very clear directions on how to sign the pieces and even sent a Pigma marker and mechanical pencils to sign pieces. I did leave 2 to 4 strips together to minimize fraying.
FINALLY got them back today.. some signed across 2 to 4 blocks.. some signed on the WRONG side across the lines. And worst of all some signed with markers of a different type that have already bled all over the place. I still want to make a quilt for this dear friend.. who by the way recovered fully.. against all odds and is already riding again!! All I can think to do is to piece this mess into a backing and make a pretty front. I am at my wits end and am trying not to cry and or blow up at these "poor dears" "bless their hearts"... southerners will understand. :?
