It was actually quite challenging to put the quilt top together because I was working with different sized blocks. About half of the blocks were sewn two and a half years ago, on a different machine, and by practically a different quilter. And before you think that it must be that my sewing has gotten better, my seam allowance is more accurate etc., it's actually the other way around. Early 2016 Kat was well rested and patient, took time to use pins and didn't hesitate to get out her seam ripper if the points were slightly off. Current Kat hasn't slept through the night in a very long time, doesn't even know where her seam ripper is, and even if she did, wouldn't use it unless she'd sewn a piece on upside down (which happens quite a bit). She's more of a 'finished is better than perfect' and 'close enough is good enough' kind of gal.
It's definitely not perfect, but it is a finished top and I'm happy with that. It's now off to the quilter for her to work her magic.

Love the colors you used in this quilt! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteJust having a wee giggle at the 'two different quilters'! I think I am definitely more of the 'now' quilter even though my son is now 17years old- most likely because my quilting time is precious and I want to achieve so much (so am always in a rush!) Love the quilt top you've finished, looking forward to seeing how it gets quilted up.
