New Project "Road to Ok" Quilt for My Bed (Top Finished!)

[speckledhen]

It's started! Finished three blocks so far. Had to stop to do some crop surgery on my sweet little Kate, but she's resting, so here they are. Didn't intend for the effect to be a box of Crayola Crayons, but what the heck? Some of the corners don't meet exactly right (how does that happen when one is so precise cutting and sewing?? Always a mystery to me!), but I really detest ripping out seams.

It's lovely!

I like crayon colors!..

..

I agree, when you ,carefully cut, carefully sew ( I am a hand sewer) and it is off..what gives?? I always think back to my first quilting class..the instructor said even a needles width off in a block with 6-8 pieces across will really make a big difference..she was right..and I so hate to take out and redo!!

But that all looks great Cynthia!!

that is lovely! I would rather start from scratch sewing something than to take out a seam and redo

I agree with MissP! It's going to be absolutely stunning Cyn.

It's like jewel tone stars. It's gonna look great!

I don't rip out seams ....... LOL ...... I "unsew!"

Part of the craft, gotta sew and unsew!

Thanks! I had picked out a darker gold and darker blue for this project, but when kathyinmo sent me some of her stash, there was a gorgeous, deep, almost electric-purple blue, a Jinny Beyer fabric, and DH wanted that for the blue and he picked a lighter gold with a very subtle pattern rather than solid. He chose the burgundy and dark green for the base colors and I added the blue and gold. Gosh, it took me ages to figure out which color where since, when placed together, the blocks form a secondary pattern (star).

You have a good DH Cyn.

That we are in agreement on, Stacey. He's a keeper!
