I have really enjoyed this quilt along. I looked forward to seeing each weekly block and making each block within the seven days. It was the perfect on-going small project.
Now, I am in the final stages of this birthday quilt. I have carefully cut the sashing and cornerstone pieces. I like the striped fabric so much, so I'm going to use it for the binding.
I was surprised with how quickly the rows came together. I am loving the look of this quilt - how the light fabrics start in the center and, as you move your eye to the outside edge, the colors get darker.
Once the quilt was sewn together, I could see some mistakes that need to be corrected.
Several of the striped cornerstones were sewn horizontally, instead of vertically. I thought I was being so careful in getting the stripes correct. And I believe the floral applique block, in the top left corner, should be turned so the flower will be at the top.
I'm a little disappointed to know that the quilt top isn't finished yet, but the fixes will be simple.
Till next time,
