Oh Trudii, owie-owie!! I cringe just thinking of your ouchie eye!! Having had eye issues all my life, this just curls my hair!! I'm so glad it wasn't too bad! Your quilt is gorgeous!! Good for you to keep on going!!
Krista, I'm a fan of hexies when it's someone else's work - and you ladies are awesome to finish out this beauty to honor your friend! And since there's no quilt police, you aren't cheating, no matter how you finish it. Any finish is good, and yours is gorgeous!
And so many other finishes already!! Go team!!
I'm nearly finished with the consignment quilt, I just need to put the binding on. But this won't count as a UFO finish, unfortunately.
So, I took the Lone Star back out, and was measuring... and decided I didn't like some of the setting squares, because they're not quite square enough. And since I'm hoping this UFO will end up at fall MQX, I got out my trusty seam ripper and started picking at the offending parts. I have to get the three borders off (halfway there already) and then take out the setting squares and fix them.
My longarm group has "Vintage" as our challenge this year. While I'm spending time picking the LS, I may load that 30+ year old Dresden Plate and finish her off. Then she'll do "double duty" - a UFO finish for this group and a vintage finish for my LA group.
