So I pulled out this Christmas mini quilt that I started several years ago and figured out that I made the first 16 blocks (arranged like an advent calendar) and then quit. The pattern and fabric were still there with the blocks so I decided to give it a finish!
There are still as many pieces to cut as in a full sized quilt
but they are just small and fiddly.
I got the pieces cut out and then stitched them together.
Not so happy with the results. I remember why I put it away. That 1/4" seam allowance which looks so small on a 6" block is really big on a 1" square! I might try it again today but no guarantees!
That looks like a Dear Jane. Those crazy seam allowances are a nightmare on it too. They are so beautiful when they are done but what a pain they are to work on. I have to be in the right mood.
ReplyDeleteI say do it all - they don't need to be perfect! It's wasted if it just sits there untouched!
ReplyDeleteIt is very beautiful though and looks perfect to me.
