It's hard to cut, sew or iron fluid.
My inner perfectionist was wincing every time I cut a strip, or sewed a seam.
Trying to appease her as I felt her anxiety screaming through my head, I took a long, long, long time to work on this first homework assignment.
Probably about six hours.
I'm thinking that it should have or could have been done in half the time.
This homework assignment taught us the Split Rail Fence pattern.
I'm sure I'll get faster. Regardless, so far, I like it!
Quilting is not supposed to be perfect - tell your inner perfectionist that! Besides, you did great! Love your fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric. And I concur with Cheri, quilting is not supposed to be perfect. No one is going to see the little flaws when it's done, besides you. So just have fun.
ReplyDeleteIf people want a perfect quilt, they should buy a factory made one! Yours looks fabulous. There is nothing to beat something slightly imperfect as it shows it was made by hand with much love and care sewn into it. (Not to mention blood, sweat and tears!)
ReplyDeleteThe colours are beautiful - well done!
Worth every minute you spent on it - it looks gorgeous! :-)
