Default Pot of Tea? UFO - Finish

Hi Guys,

Here are some pictures of my latest finish - the whole quilt and three of the panels. It was a Block of the Month called Sweet Tea, which of course I didn't make as they arrived... no I collected them, in a nice pile.... (never quilted much before) and eventually made all together!

I started this quilt when I was very very very new to quilting and very inexperienced. I am still inexperienced, but since becoming a member here I have learned heaps, so I can now see the large amount of mistakes I made when creating this quilt top.

Also, the company that put the BOM together sent some very poor fabrics... the green and white stripe seemed to have a bias in both directions.... stretchy and flimsy! So it was a real doosey!!!

Anyway, it is pieced now.... just the quilting to do!

Hugs and thanks for looking!

I think you've done an excellant job. Quilting is not easy on good fabric. Bad fabric is worse. You did really good.
