This is what it was going to look like.
But then I made nice little stacks of blocks and used nifty pins to mark the top and sides, started sewing and after the third row was done realized that I had somehow switched dirrections and mixed up the blocks.
SO... I now had 8 rows of 3 blocks done. I went ahead and set those aside, picked up my piles and sewed 2 together, leaving the third. I figured I had already layed them out so these blocks belonged together.
I ironed the sets of 3 and 2 and then took them back to the open area I have to use (since I don't have any wall space for a design wall) and re-layed the blocks... a set of 3, a set of 2 and a single block in each row. I then pinned and then labled my rows.... now off to sew again.... and remind myself to not try and get to fancy and mess it up again.
I love laying quilts out and seeing how they're going to turn out. I recently finished my very first quilt top and I have quite a few quilts pieced, but alas they're just sitting in bags, begging to be sewn!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how it turns out!
It's easily done to mess up the direction. I think it turned out very nice. Good work.
ReplyDeleteYou're like me. I start something and then realize I did something wrong. I am a perfectionist and usually will end up taking it out unless I can do a work around. This looks pretty good as a mess up! I probably would keep it. Steph
