I got home last night, exhausted from a really stressful day at work. I was trying to talk myself out of doing the mitered borders. After about an hour wasting time, I went into my sewing room. I had printed off 3 sets of instructions based on suggestions that I got in my blog comments. As I poured over the different instructions, I got more and more confused and was ready to give up.
But, I proceeded with the first technique, and sweated through the first corner, which came out to a perfect miter. I was mentally taxed and thought I would save the other corners for another day, but forced myself to push on. In just under an hour total, I produced 3 perfectly mitered corners!
I hope to finish #4 tonight, with any luck, and then I am hoping to take this quilt and one other to my quilter this weekend. I LOVE THIS ORANGE QUILT!!! It's one of my most favorites in a very long time.
whoo hoo! i tried convincing my crew to let me paint one of the rooms here orange, but no one was buying it. :) looking forward to pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the mitres went well. I really like the look of mitred corners on a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the corners went well. Did you use the same instructions for each one?
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the mitered corners to behave. I am sitting here sewing on binding as we speak and my corners are turning out pretty well so far. I hate sewing on binding but it's gotta be done.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! I knew you could do it. ;)
