OY, The Pain!!!! I am having one ot *those* quilting days. Not once have my seams matched -- had to frog each and every one of them to make them look relatively decent! It's been a looooong time since I had a day like this -- LOLOL! I'm just thankful that there aren't really very many seams to match up. I went fabric shopping last week with the friend who asked me to make a lap quilt for the American Heart Association. We settled on six different florals, all having purple in them -- lilacs, hydrangea, etc. She couldn't put *any* of them back on the shelf so, with that many "must have" fabrics, I decided I would make a Bull's Eye Quilt. It's relative quick and easy and uses a lot of different fabrics. It has a whole cloth center that is 8" x 20" and then the surrounding bands and corner blocks are 4". The finished size will be roughly 48" x 60". I have been sewing the long side bands to the center. The corner blocks are sewn onto the short top and bottom bands and then they are sewn to the center. This is where the problem is. There are only 4 seams (2 top & 2 bottom) to be matched with each "go round" and I can't get ANY of them to match up! VBS, I have finally decided to pin the
*%&%*^ seams from the top down about 2" -- LOL! CiaoMeow >^;;^<- posted
