Quadrant 3

Finished quad 3 last night.  Only had to rip a couple of seams and I only stopped because I was tired and started making mistakes.  I really hope I can finish this top tonight!  I would love to have it quilted by Monday and finished so I can see it on the wall and see if it measures up to my  imagination.

quad 1 & 2

Halfway there!  I did rip out part of quad 1.  A couple of times actually as I kept sewing it the wrong way. I did much better following my layout on quad 2.  I only ripped out one seam that was really bugging me.

I'm pleased with how it is looking!  I really love this pattern.

Quadrant 1

Stitched this up on my Featherweight (!) last night.  I had to rip it out a couple times and darned if there isn't still a mistake in there!  When I put it away last night I said to myself -it's fine, you can live with it. 

 Well, no I can't.  See there are two places where identical squares are either adjacent or touching.  So tonight I rip it out again and hopefully the material can stand it one more time!

Some folks are just brilliant.

So I've been having troubles with my half-square triangles (HSTs) and I found this link on a blog I follow:

Secrets of Accurate Half-Square Triangles.

It is absolutely brilliant.

Now that's better.

After much measure, pinning, sewing, ripping, pressing etc the text looks better. I can live with this. Below is a pic of how the quilt looks now. I need to add the final border which will be as finicky as the text but this time I will be On Alert.

Really.
