I should name it "The Whale"
3 Attachment(s)
I say this because I have been "fighting" this heavy, stiff quilt (queen) for days now and it feels as if I have been wrestling a whale.
I know it isn't true but I feel as though anything and everything that could have gone wrong with this quilt did. I started this quilt over a year ago and then had to put it away. Doing so meant that my next strip cuts and seams were not the same. Had to remove them and do them over again. Decided to do QAYG (which I loved doing on the blocks) and had to bury all of the points as they did not end up even similar to each other. I decided to use Glo In The Dark thread for quilting and when I pressed my sashing on the first two blocks, I melted the GID thread. Had to carefully pick it away from the fabric and use regular thread. Got to the borders and the wrestling match began. They are done. Whew! I decided to use the Glo In The Dark thread to quilt my GGD name into the design of both top and bottom borders so that when she turns out the lights, she will see her name. Thus I am naming this quilt "Mystery of the Hidden Wells Quilt".
