What was I thinking when I let my son choose a pattern with so many curves and tiny points? After my success with my daughter’s quilt and my sampler, I was just a tad bit over-confident. Surely with the control I get by hand-piecing, I would be able to handle this without a problem. Well, I am making progress – slowly.
It looks better in the picture than it does in real life. It doesn’t lie as flat as I would like. So the next step will be to press it carefully and adjust the seams to secure the pressing. Otherwise it will only get worse, especially once I start to quilt it. But every quilt is a learning experience. And I am quite pleased with the color combinations. The next steps are straight borders alternating with a flying geese border before moving to the outer blocks that echo the sunburst of the center. I guess it’s time to cut some more fabric!
