I do have an idea, but every time I lay it out, all I get is confused. Maybe I'd better quit until morning. At this point, I don't need advice, just someone to commiserate with me. If I grumble at my dogs, they'll think they are ones who did something wrong, not me. Thank you for listening. I'll drink a small cup for you, how about? |
Allow yourself a break and good luck for tomorrow.

either dead center, or in a corner. (if it's big enough for a bed, perhaps the top center where it will be covered by a pillow.) |
Yes mam. I have been trying to put together one riduculous six inch paper piece block for days now. Betcha I have literally invested 36 hours in that %5$$$#$%^^ block!
Now it's laying in the floor where I tossed it in utter frustration a few hours ago. My victory in this is that I resisted the urge to cut it up into cloth confetti! Yep. been there alright. :-D Lori |
make it smaller or put plain squares on the corners, than you have some left over??
|
Sleep on it and the answer should come to you in the morning.
|
chances are tomorrow you will lay it out and every thing will fall into place - have a good sleep

Can you make a block that is completely different...to use as your signature. Maybe a tie dye block...or a block with cats or dogs or something that would remind her of you...and you then can sign and date that block.

Sounds like the quilt I made my DD for Christmas! I ran out of the main color one block before the top was done. I put in another dark color (similar)& didn't say a thing! :-) That quilt fought me the whole time I was making it. One horror show after another! Never been so glad to ship one off!! LOL! Best of luck with yours!

How about making that last square a label?
