It apparently was meant to be frogging time around here. I started on Thursday working on these:
The first 36 45-deg seams almost all have to be redone. So I was prepared to frog more on Friday. But actually it went better – maybe because I was steeled for it…….. Anyway, only a few needed to be frogged and redone. In the end I got 18 more completed and trimmed to lovely 8 1/2” blocks.
That felt so good that I thought I’d go on to doing these:
At our last BOM class at the LQS, we decided that the center 6-patch just didn’t stand out enough (with pale yellow background where the green is now). I’d previously taken them apart, ready to sew the center. Well, it didn’t go so well. I guess my 1/4” seams were just slightly different and…… I frogged and resewed and frogged and resewed. Unbelievable! But I did get 4 done. Much better don’t you agree.
So not a whole bunch done, but at least it’s progress!
Linked to FNSI over at Handmade by Heidi – do stop on by and see what everybody else is doing!

I hope the frogging time has passed now - your block shown looks wonderful. I do like the green in your re-done BOM - much better!
ReplyDeleteFrogging? Please explain. I do like the new centres - very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWell, frogs make a sound....'Ripit, Ripit, Ripit'.....so when quilters start ripping out.........
DeleteHow to you ever have the patience... I have been trying to work on one...and am ready to throw it out!!
ReplyDeleteOh, no, don't throw it out! I know, I know, it can be tough, but just keep on keeping on, it'll all come together. And then you can put a label on it that says: 'the imperfections in this quilt were put there on purpose to enhance its beauty'!
DeleteAll I can say is that you are extremely patient and tenacious!
