I saw a wall hanging of one motif of the flying swollows. This has four.
Along with y seams which were the easy part, there were 37 places where 8 seams met and many where six seams met. All these made those Y seams seem easy. Over half of the back ground is off grain, the birds are all off grain. I starch everything to keep the pieces from being stretch. I marked all the seams at the intersections. It took forever to piece and a long time to quilt. This is by far the hardest quilt I have ever made. Maybe this time I will wait five years before I do something "outrageously difficult" again |
