Do you remember how careful we were at pressing perfectly to get perfect points? Oh! After washing them...that was a challenge to get it back!

9-Block Charm Square Sampler QAL Finish!
Well, it took me a few years, but I finally finished my 9-Block Charm Square Sampler, I started back in 2015. https://moderntraditionquilts.blogspot.com/p/charm-square-quilt-along-2015-block.html
Why did it take so long...well, when I started it, we moved to another county. Then, I started a Master's Degree, then started teaching school again, then off again, then started back up again...finished a few more endorsements until and finished some "loose" credentials...4 years later...I have a summer with time to quilt!
This quilt top was the closest I ever came to not completing a project once it was started. At one point, it looked like "barf" -- literally! One of my lovely children got sick in the night and threw up on the pile of quilt blocks (he was aiming for the trash can but didn't make it). I had to soak, clean and then press...and re-press all of those seams.

oh this looks nice. It will be pretty when done. I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI understand the barf situation. My babies barfed on my things all the time haha
fingers crossed my kitties don't, or my grand daughters.
This is a lovely quilt
I was seeing along with you and you just disappeared. I went ahead and finished mine up and use it as a summer tablecloth, but I wondered where you went. Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome back! I didn't get a notification of this post, but I'm so happy to see that you are here and still quilting through all the ups and downs! A finish of a UFO is great. 4 years isn't bad. =)
