good and bad

but certainly not ugly!  the good part is obvious; the bad part is there are 4 pesky purple triangles facing the wrong way!  like how did that happen?  probably watching TV while sewing is how.  anyway, i've got these 3 rows done here with 4 more to go.  fat tuesday is february 21st and i am hoping this top will be done way before then, maybe even tied....now wouldn't that be great!  **** also while working on this flimsy, i've been doing a cross-stitch piece, plus sewing on 4 other quilt projects, probably why it isn't done yet.  i am anxious to see it all together though and get all those pieces off the sewing table.

  1. Looks good to me. So lively and full of movement. Wonderful!! I had to enlarge the photo and study hard to find what you were talking about. Just curious--does it bother you enough that you are going to unpick, or can you live with it as is?

  2. I used purple, orange and teal, similar colors but a much different overall appearance. And, I know what you mean about the pieces in the wrong direction. This quilt required a lot of attention or a lot of frogging! Keep going, it will be worth it!

  3. Your quilt looks great. I did exactly the same as you. fixed mistake now I've just noticed another one. I knew at the time this was a tricky quilt to put together - talk about having to have your wits about you !!

  4. i will definitely fix the 4 that need it; i've put a lot of work into this so far and it would bother me if i didn't fix it.

  5. Looking great, Grace! I salute you stick-to-it-iveness!

    I quit when the thrid clue came out. But I've been using some of the hourglass units in another quilt.

  6. Lovely, happy quilt. I didn't see the ones turned the wrong way, but I know what you mean about if you don't fix it it'll bother you, especially since this one is a big investment in time and money.
