Cutting Things Down to Size
I took a deep breath. I checked and double checked my measurements. And I cut one of the embroidered blocks wrong. You can just see the seam where I had to add more fabric and then readjust it so that the embroidered bit wouldn't be way off center.
I'm telling myself that the quilting will hide it and once the finished piece is hanging on my kitchen wall, I'll forget about my little mistake. Because the alternative is leaving it in a drawer until I redo the embroidered block and I'm not about to do that!
This little quilt is just for me and I am not a perfectionist.
I think it adds to it! It's an old-timey looking quilt, so an extra seam is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me so often that I have a sign in my sewing room stating: "I see the screw-up fairy has been here again!" Still, it doesn't detract from this little gem one bit so quilt on!
ReplyDeleteIT WILL BE LESS NOTICABLE WHEN YOU ADD THE BINDING. LOOKS FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteI could bare see it. Gives it an antique look.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this! Where did you get your embroidery patterns from? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting will definitely hide it and it is very nicely done. I love the embroidery.
