Another
beautiful fall day here in Ontario
I’m
working on a very complicated quilt pattern that is driving me crazy! Not only
that but I forgot to get one blue fabric laundered and it left a stain on my
ironing board so I knew it would leak through and contaminate the rest of the
quilt. I tried washing the fabric that was not stable but in doing so the
blocks went askew. Grrrrr. So I had to remake all the blocks that had that
fabric in it – after I made another trip to the fabric store to buy more blue
fabric of course…..yes, it was washed even though it was different fabric. I
take no chances!
Speaking
of quilts, that is what I’m posting today. A blue and yellow quilt I made for
my youngest daughter.
This
was a block-of-the-month quilt pattern that was hosted by our guild. We made
one block a month not knowing what the finished quilt would look like. I love
the border and I hope I can make one for another quilt. I’m not sure if the
bottom left corner was suppose to go down or meet up with the other one but I
didn’t notice it until it was quilted so it is what it is. Barbi loved it so
that’s all that counts.
That’s
all for a sunny November day, 2016-11-07

Love the one you made for Barbi... the colors and pattern are so pretty... My mother in law made quilts but she always just used what she had on hand , no rhyme or reason to her color choices... or at least none that i can see....lol . I often wondered if that was a thrifty choice... you know to save money as they never has alot... or if it was her true color preferences...never had the nerve to ask.. :) Same way with her crocheted afghans ... she made one or two for everyone i think but again her color choices just blow my mind... but i did notice when it finally became time to make for the grandchildren she asked them what colors they wanted...lol I'm sorry that new quilt your making is giving you such trouble.
