MY DALAH QUILT , I LEARNED ON THIS QUILT DO NOT TAKE SHORT CUTS WQHEN CUTTING OUT YOUR PIECES, I DO NOT HAVE MY 1/4 IN SEEM ON ALL PIECES! as for me looking for a short cut on cutting out Looks like I lost this quilt will hang on my quilt rack for show. would never withstand being used. I felt so bad, when i realized i made a mistake.(shortcut) I was ready to scrap the whole thing.

it looks fine to me, what is the problem?

What happened while you were cutting?

Did you end up with not enough fabric to make 1/4 inch seams?

That's too bad. Still is a beautiful quilt, whether used or admired.

It is a gorgeous quitlt, even if you think it's just eye candy!
You did a wonderful job, don't be so hard on yourself, we all make mistakes.

All that work! So sorry, but it's still a beautiful quilt!

Live and learn....the quilt is very pretty so try again.

What a beautiful quilt! :D

Lovely quilt to be honest. I think your way too hard on yourself.

Looks good to me! Nice quilt! :thumbup:

I love the colors! I have that pattern in my do to box, but your colors are just so soft. Very nice looking quilt.

Just because all of your seams aren't 1/4 in doesn't mean it won't hold up. Remember that the quilting also determines how a quilt holds up; so quilt it good and enjoy this pretty quilt that you created

It is beautiful! Don't focus on your mistakes.....focus on it's beauty. I sure don't see any error...I love it just as it is:)

Beautiful ! Remember the quilting helps hold it together also - don't be so hard on yourself - we all make mistakes and then we pass it on so I take it as a learning tool. Next time we would change what we do.

THE SEEMS ARE TO SHORT, WHEN i QUILTED IN THE DITCH SOME OF THE SEEMS WERE PULLING APART, HAD TO TOP STITCH ON SOME THEM.

EXCATLY, NOT ENOUGH FABRIC TO LEAVE A 1/4 IN SEEM.

Thank you

thank you, I really love the colors and the pattern, Love your expression "eye candy"

That is what made me not scrap the whole thing, So So much work, Thank you

That is my thoughts Live and Learn, Thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you, I think the colors just made the quilt, It was so much fun to make this quilt if not for my mistake. enjoy making yours.

It's very pretty anyway. The colors are great. Glad you decided to finish is.

When (notice I say when not if) I'm in the situation, I just make the blocks a smidgen smaller to get the 1/4" seam.

I've had to go back and fix too many in the past that needed first aid after it was washed.

I'm also fond of stategically placed applique to cover spots that have pulled apart-those that even a needle and thread can't fix well.

Thank you for the confindence, but as I was quilting in the ditch some of the seems were pulling apart, had to top stitch on some of them. I will enjoy the quilt very much it is a reminding of a trip we took where i first saw this pattern and I told myself that i wanted to make it.

Thank you so much.

What am I missing here? It looks great! I had to take my first quilt top apart three times till I got it all right!

Thank You, I will get passed this I will always remeber never to take short cuts, Hence "Lesson Learned" I love the quilt.

Thank you,

Thank you,

How about trying a zigzag stitch in the ditch? You could make it look like that is how you planned it.

Two things make a quilt. Cutting it out right, and making sure you sew it with your 1/4".

you can also use it across the foot of the bed like a runner. just for decoration. great quilt though!!

By the picture it looks like she has a quilt. She may have made some mistakes but its still a quilt and a very pretty one at that. If it's not a quilt; then what is it.

It's a beautiful quilt.

Sorry about your seams. I think this quilt is beautiful and will look gorgeous hanging on the rack! Please display it, it's a beauty:-)

It's gorgeous, I have the pattern to make these blocks but not the skill, so I hope you don't give up. There's nothing wrong with making a wall hanging for yourself :)

If you can analyze a mistake and then avoid repetition then you will be successful. Unless we had a mentor sitting by our side when beginning to quilt, we all made beginner's errors.

Beautiful quilt.
