Belfrybat, you sound like a very reasonable woman! Thank you.

Belfrybat, I'm with you. I don't get too upset if my seams don't play nice. I try my best, but that is all I can do.

Thank you all for your advice. I've been going slower, getting into a ribbon, trying to match points, and trying not to be so anal retentive. This should cure my OCD!

I love that blue Kassaundra. I have now done step 2 & 3. I'll start step 4 on the weekend.[ATTACH=CONFIG]566688[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566689[/ATTACH]

Kassaundra, I love how that quilting is looking on the back!

m-fay, you are moving right along!

Sandra-P, since this is not your favorite pattern, do you have to do a second one?

Joe'smom,

I have the second one done and ready to sew together. I would hate to waste the fabric and tri recs, four patches etc. I am going to change it around as I did on the first one, probably a bit different and forge ahead. Next time no matter how much I like the colors I will wait before getting too excited.

Sounds like we all have pressing issues. There are just so many bulky seams to contend with. I am doing mine how she suggested for the blocks. Sometimes on the HST I will redirect the seam so they line up better. I have 4 blocks sewn and another laid out ready and waiting. I haven't sewn any sashing strips together yet. Probably won't make much progress now since my daughter and her hubby are visiting from France for 2 weeks.
Kassaundra, thanks for your tutorial. I am considering doing mine that way. Guess I'd better figure out what I am using for backing!

Finally got mine finished!!

Love the front, hate the lumpy back, but hey ho, it is what it is.

Because I had swapped around a couple of the colour placements, I had a bunch of original units left over, so I devised a border to use these up.

So it's been a blast doing this, even though it's taken me far too long to complete the top. There's been some fantastic tops appearing here, and I'm full of admiration for those of you who have already completed the full quilt!!!!!

Cheers, K

Kate, I love it! The colors remind me of water and forest. Your use of the leftover blocks for the border is so clever.

Siodach, love it especially your border.
