Yahoo!!!!

IMG_0479 It took FOREVER, but I finished my Web Sampler quilt!   Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, as I have heard from others who have had problems with their finishing kits.  I think the reason is that these finishing kit patterns were generated in EQ6 and there aren't really full "published pattern" instructions.  That's my personal theory, anyway...  I know I struggled with mine, and you can see the wonky points in the outer border.  There is no instruction for dealing with those.  I think I may have it quilted first, and then decide where to trim it off.


Anyway, I am glad to be finished, but also very happy with the result.  The quilt measures approximately 72x72.

  3. Madam, this is lovely. I don't need to mention that I would consider it an honor to steal this in the dark of night, do I?

  6. Very pretty! I love the sashing! Now I really wish that I had done this one. :~) Still thinking about the next one. I go and look at it once a day. I am trying to not buy any more fabric for awhile, my shelves are starting to overflow. I have only been quilting about 2 years and already I have quit a stash, for me anyways, probably not as big as some. lol

  7. Wonky points? Who cares! The only thing anyone will -- and should! -- see is how glorious your quilt IS! A big WOOHOO to you for finishing and for making such a beautiful quilt. (And I'm with Carol, it's amazing how many "problems" simply disappear in the dryer.)
    I hope this also means you have your "mojo" back. :)

  9. It's beautiful! Why don't you have them quilt those wonky points, and then bind'em! It will be like a reverse scallop edge!

    I love this quilt and am going to definately do the next one (although I do prefer the chocolate browns and pinks to the blues/creams) but I LOVE LOVE this quilt.. sorry to hear you had some 'dramas' but I have seen alot of others have the same problems, so frustrating when there is a problem with a pattern..
