I went right to work on piecing the last lobe for the clover and just wasn't satisfied! They needed to touch in the middle at the stem and they weren't. I ripped out each large block from the other and took off the sashing strips.
When I put them down to see it wasn't distinct enough--each lobe blended into its neighbor....
I added a strip to the side between lobes and pressed it out and trimmed so it is still a squared block.
Now when they are together, it is just the right look! What a lot of work but such a good feeling to conquer a problem!
I put the two newly renovated blocks back together and I liked what I had...but there were so many green squares leftover,
I added a border like I did to last month's runner.
It looks framed now!
I even loaded it onto the frame and wait until you see the backing! I went stash diving to find just the right piece I remembered from somewhere a long time ago....
That pretty much summed up my Saturday!
Today, I am knitting the ribbing up that man sock!
Very fun (almost) finish!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!! Can't wait to see the finish. Now I have to go back and see what the last runner was, I forgot!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out perfectly. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I love your fix. As I was reading the first part I was thinking, "I wonder if she could just put a thin strip of white between each lobe?" And the next think I read was just that! Great minds and all! Ha! It looks great. Looking forward to seeing the backing.
