oh hilarious. sigh.
 

at 2:39 am i rounded the last curve heading into the very last cable section of this handquilted border to discover that the number of sections is uneven.

i used an interwining pattern with blue and green thread..

green thread meets blue thread in various runs across the cable: more collision than intertwine...

perfect.

label up!

Pressure to finish creates interesting situations ...... I look forward to seeing your ingenuity.

That cable is just fighting you to the bitter end, isn't it? Done is better than perfect.:thumbup:

Oh..I feel your pain! I was quilting words...and on the LAST word...11:30 pm...I went too high on the 'a' and made it a 'd'! Guess what I was doing at midnight? Requilting that word! lolol

Well, you have made me feel better. I just started quilting the top of a quilt and have had to remove three out of two SID seams. Should be smooth sailing from here. Sorry that I am not the only one struggling....

i just trimmed the beast and will begin binding today.

it is terribly beautiful for all its faults, and i have learned so much.

that most of the mistakes were avoidable, and that none of them are new? well. it is what it is.

i may never show it to a quilter. no one else will ever be the wiser, truly.

i am so thankful for all you help through this. it has been an interesting experience....

"Terribly Beautiful" I will have to remember that term. I bet it is pretty in its uniqueness.

An oxymoron?

hugs,

I bet it is beautiful!!!!

Oh, I can't wait to see the pictures!! Congratulations on nearing the finish line.

Oh honey, I feel your pain. I have been on a mission to finish quilting my DGD's quilt for her new bed. I had finished the top, with both pieced and appliqued blocks, prior to having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, of course. I'm doing better, although not as quickly as I would have liked. Now it's Christmas Eve, I just finished trimming the quilt to put the binding on and have see far too many "flaws" (I think it's a nice word for mistakes), however she is just 3 1/2 and I'm hoping that she will love this quilt as much as the very first one I made when she was born. My DIL says that she uses that quilt because "MiMi made it for me." Doesn't get any sweeter than that. I'm taking a break, baking dessert for Christmas Eve dinner with my DS, DIL and DGD, then I'll review Jenny Doan's tutorial on putting a binding on with the machine and see if I can finish it, then wash and dry it before we go over there tonight. I need a miracle.

Hooray for you. It is finished.

"Terribly Beautiful" you might just need to name the quilt this! Some quilts just seem tohave lives of their own, don't they? Can't wait to see pictures.
