E9: Quilting jail
This block definitely felt like being in jail... so many tiny pieces and so many opportunities for issues with all the lines to align. I really tried my best but the block is not perfect...BUT "finished is better than perfect" so I will learn to live with it.
It has been a long time coming since I started it during our holiday in Canada last summer and only finished it this week while on holidays. I had picked it up again at time but it was so hard to align all the pieces that I easily lost motivation. Finally this past week, I tackled it, since I was in a lovely spot, sewing with a view!
Once I finished the center I noticed than one of the stripe was quite wonky.
I decided to unpick it and sew it back. Well I am not sure I have made it better really, so it was time to leave it be....
This little block is 35 pieces without the sashing.
Once the sashing was added and I was ready to add it to row E, I noticed I had made a mistake when again E10 to E11...
After unpicking and sewing all back together, here is E9 in situ
And with this block, I have 141 out of 169 blocks completed. 1 more and row E will be finished.

ReplyDeleteI did not notice the difference, but if I notice it on my own it drives me crazy until I fix it. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
