Hi Everyone
Last night I had a ripping time! I dug out a quilt that I started making a long, long time ago when I first learned quilting. Everything is wrong with it: the materials used, the piecing (I can hear Lee's voice telling me off that those points don't match), the border strips and the wadding. I really don't know what made me think 6oz wadding would be easy to hand quilt. So the quilting was pulled out, the wadding removed and the borders ripped off. I stopped at unpicking all the blocks simply because it is a first quilt and I need to have that bench mark to know how much I have improved (ha, ha).
The hope is that tomorrow I can get the borders remade and the quilt sandwiched so I can quilt it while I am on holibobs. In the tradition of many a quilter I had intended to give it to No 2 Son while he was at university but as so frequently seems to happen he has graduated before the quilt is finished. It's only a single size too and the only single bed in the house is No 3 Son's and I have already made him a quilt.
What a quandry!
