Looks really good to me. That is so darn cute!
|
I can't see a problem
|
I can't see anything wrong as well. Great Job! What a cute table topper!

Put on you walking foot when adding long strips, i.e, borders and sashing. Also mark on the sashing strips exactly where the blocks should start/end.

love all your colors............

It looks fine to me. I really like that 3D effect of the tail at the bottom !!!!

I haven't read all of the replies to this, so someone else may have already said what I'm going to say.
I prefer to add my sashing to each block, instead of long strips, for exactly this reason. So, for example, if I want my sashing to be 2" wide, I sew a strip of sashing material that is 1.5" (includes seam allowances) on ALL sides of each block. Then I sew the blocks together, matching seams, and I end up with 2" of sashing and perfectly matched blocks. This works great, especially when you use a darkish, busy print for sashing. |
The only problem I see with that topper is that gray, suspicious-looking piece of "furbric" lying on the lower right-hand side. THAT may be what threw your sashing off.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously, I lOVE your inspector! |
Quilt it...Since I can't see the problem, it must be really slight...quilting will take care of it... oh, nice addition of the furry tail on one end...very halloweeney, lol.

I don't know if I stretched the fabric, if I ironed too much, or if I cut off too much when I tried to square up each block, (The first time I really tried the squaring up thing.) Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I saw Bonnie Hunter talk about using scraps up so thought this would be a good time to try it. It sure did take longer than I expected for just a tabletopper. I just have 2 more borders to finish. |
The sashing looks great. I love the material you used.
