Firstly can I just say a big 'thank you' to everyone who gave me creative and constructive feedback yesterday on my Hexie Dilemma.
You have given me lots to think about & I'm going to take some time out pondering (oh no! now I sound like Susan!) on what the next step should be.
When I was away last week I was able to complete 2 quilt tops. Today I'll show you one which has been long overdue the Don't Call Me Betsy QAL deadline!

| Yes, there are 3 random pink blocks in amongst the green ones! |
I don't think there is one point in this whole quilt that matches up (which is why I'm not showing any close-ups!)!
I discovered half way through that my downloaded template wasn't symmetrical, coupled with 'under pressure' (aka 'That'll do rightly!') sewing, and accuracy was well and truly compromised.
However, life is too short to be worrying about such things when they are about learning a new pattern and what to do differently next time.
This quilt will be for my youngest daughter and she's really pleased with it so far. (Quilt currently measures 62" x 72").
I'm slowly but surely updating all the rubbishy early works that my kids received from me, when I was a fledgling quilter!
One day I might even let you see them (but only when I'm feeling especially brave & secure in myself!!).
To finish, a little bit of crochet.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Your Kaleidoscope is wonderful, I love the colours. No need to have one's nose in the quilt, from here it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe kaleidoscope top is beautiful, I stalled at cutting the white triangles - seemed like such a waste of some good white fabric!!
ReplyDeleteGet your housecoat on and finish that crochet xx
I love the colours in the quilt

ReplyDeleteOooh Kaleidoscope is lurvly, who cares about points being especially pointy?! Its gorgeous. Lucky girls:-)
ReplyDeleteOh...nice!
ReplyDeleteLove your Kaleidoscope, your colours are gorgeous! Having had serious words with my points, I know exactly what you're talking about...despite everything I tried, some of them just wouln't meet - but its really not visible in the grander scheme. Your crochet is lovely too :-)
ReplyDeleteYour holiday was good for you! You sound so laid back you are almost horizontal. The quilt top is beautiful and who looks for matching points, etc. It is perfect as it is. Love the random pink blocks!
ReplyDeleteA big ra-ra to you for finishing that gorgeous Kaleidoscope, and from where I'm standing the points look pretty darned perfect! x
ReplyDeleteOh your kaleidoscope quilt top is beautiful Judith! Don't know what you're worried about it looks perfect to me, now get it quilted :) Susan is right, you sound rested. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteCute crochet and I love the Kaleidoscope quilt top - looks fabulous, especially the random pinkies!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top is fabulous - I love pink and green in a quilt and th points look good to me.
ReplyDeleteYour kaleidoscope top is wonderful - all the points look great from here...and if they don't stand up to closer scrutiny it doesn't matter - no one else ever looks that closely (unless they're nit-picking quilt police!), they'll be admiring the patterns and colours!
ReplyDeleteThe kaleidoscope quilt top looks fabulous all assembled-- and I love the random/surprise element of the the 3 pink blocks you included. The overall effect is great and the points look fine to my eye. Your daughter will be a very happy girl! The crochet is very nice, too!
ReplyDeleteYour kaleedoscope quilt top is lovely! My blogger has been playing up and I completely missed your hexie post, but I think they're really pretty and would make a lovely baby quilt.
