I copied this photo into Paint, rotated it and pasted it 3 times to show what a finished quilt would look like. Up to now, we really didn't have a good idea of what it was going to look like! Here it is!
I'm not overly thrilled with it. I think it has too much white in it. But everyone else loves it, so that's good. It's too late to change it now anyway. I'll be glad when this project is over. I really don't like working on committees. We had to redo several blocks that the girls from the quilt guild sewed, and there were three that we couldn't use. Our "fudge factor" proved extremely valuable, because not only did we have that extra half inch all around to help square up the blocks, but we had made 3 extra kits for each block, "just in case." Guess what! Just in case happened. The directions on the blocks said "DO NOT TRIM THE BLOCK." Yep, someone trimmed the blocks, and badly. We did not have to remake those blocks because we had 3 extra, so we had enough. Why can't people just READ and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS?? Committees frustrate me. I thought it was a bad idea to have everyone in the guild make these blocks. Maybe I am just too much of a perfectionist when it comes to making quilts.
OK, enough of this rant. It's not good for the spirit!
