1030 squares later…
I must say it was a bit of " digging in and doing the hard yards" to finish this top. i got so close then things went a bit pear shaped, which necessitated some unpicking. This would have been ok but with some of the fabrics I had, it was a disaster.
But first the finished top
Finishing at 75" x 90", it actually is the perfect size for my 6'5 son.
After needing to unpick a few ( read multiple) times to get my squares in the right order ( it never ceases to amaze me that you can have 40+ different fabrics and yet still have them randomly end up in the same spot in a row), I discovered that some of the fabrics I'd chosen, which had a looser weave, fell apart as I unpicked them. This of course led me to having to totally remove them from their rows. sigh....
Lesson learnt!

Definitely frustrating when you have to unpick but well worth it as it’s a terrific looking quilt.
ReplyDeletethat looks great and you hit 1000.......i think lucky you got rid of that fabric now instead of causing trouble later...
