Two quilts FINISHED!

9 years ago

Can you believe it? I actually 100% finished TWO quilts last weekend! They even have hanging sleeves!

En Provence, the Quiltville 2016 mystery. I didn't want another big quilt so I made all the pieces half-size. Her units finished at 3", mine are 1-1/2". :) The whole quilt is about 40" square, and hanging on the wall in my sewing room:


And I finished this paper pieced Milady's Fan. It's about 30" square. I just did some serpentine stitch sitting at the machine rather than loading it on the frame.


After I had finished the quilting and was trimming it for the binding, I discovered the arc of one corner did not match with the outside of the border, even though it was marked the same as the others. Then I remembered when I was sewing the borders I thought one blue section was too long, and without investigating very much whacked it off and kept going. Turns out I'd mis-matched it to the inner border and it wasn't too long at all! So I had to take out the quilting around the corner, unstitch the corner fan block, unstitch part of the blue border, sew a strip to lengthen it, then sew it all back together again. >Sigh.< But it's finished!

If you look closely at this picture of just the top you can see where the lower right border corner doesn't match up right. Grrr.
