My Goal for March:
Finish Summer Heat

| Summer Heat |
Here's where I stand...
I finished assembling the blocks, tore off the papers, sashed and assembled the rows. Even managed to get two of the borders on.
I don't know what it is about borders -- I just don't enjoy that part of making a quilt. Maybe it's the wrangling of all that fabric or the fear that after all that effort it won't come out square.
Of course, leaving the last/third border fabric in Arkansas for three days didn't help. Had hoped to finish up last night but my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project occupied the table I needed for laying out and measuring Summer Heat.

It's really lovely! I'm impressed that you got all those blocks together without throwing them out a window - there are twelve points in those centers, right? I'd still be screaming in a corner somewhere...
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is really beautiful! I agree; I don't really like to put on borders, but I think they're needed on most of my quilts.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have any orange UFOs or even that much fabric; that would be a hard challenge for me. Sharon B in Franklin
I'm with Gayle - so many points! It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Libby! And I feel the same way about making borders as you do. It's a good feeling to get them finished!
ReplyDeleteI'm less than enthusiastic about getting the borders done too. You got really close to done, any progress is good.
