Wow! You got it Thursday and it's already DONE?? I couldn't even get a top together - without having to fix blocks - that fast.
The maker probably realized the blocks were wonky and didn't know how to correct them. That's what makes a project go into time out for me - a problem somewhere. Then they become UFO's. I've started to get them out and finish, even though they aren't perfect. They'll get donated and used, so it's all good.
You did a great job with fixing those problems and with the quilting!

That quilt turned out to be very pretty. You did a great job squaring those blocks up and finishing the quilt. I had my doubts when you first wrote about it. I didn't even like the block, but WOW!!!!!

You did a great job Toogie, and quickly too. Love your set up too. A larger throat sure makes a difference. I have a 16' Tiara II
and love it. I don't like doing stipples/meander but it is usually my go to for charity lap quilts. Your friend is going to be blown away!
