Holiday break found me skiing out west with my family. That meant sewing blocks would have to wait until I returned this week. In an effort to link to Bonnie's blog by tonight, I wanted to finish four blocks. Only four, but that took forever. And chaos resulted.
Celtic Solstice is a wonderful quilt. But you have to be awake while making the blocks. Everyone has been asking people to "check" their blocks. Are they facing the correct way? I have seen many who have one block here and there that needs to be flipped. Me? That wouldn't happen.

Well tonight it did. In an effort to have four blocks done by tonight (my personal goal), I quickly assembled them. Excited with the results, I sewed four together, took and picture and BAM! One entire set of four patches went the wrong way. How could I do that? I was being soooooo careful.

| The correct placement! |
After a quick bit of frogging and stitching, I have everything lined up and going the right way.
Now to make how many more blocks???? I am making the king size quilt.

I love your blocks :-)
ReplyDeleteI will not be doing this quilt, but I will enjoy yours from a distance ;)
It's so gorgeous. I love your fabrics. Honestly, I think most are not being truthful if they don't admit that they have at least flipped one. ;O
ReplyDeleteIF you make the larger two blocks and then put the quilt top together, there are easy fixes. Took me less than 5 minutes to rip the seams and turn the block. Now my only issue is the chevrons. I am not happy with how off a couple of them are. Plan to tweak that a bit over the next week.
DeleteIt all looks good. I got my 4 patches correct, but reversed a piece in an earlier block. Didn't even see it until the whole inside was together. Not taking it out!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that we selected almost the same colors. I was searching the photos to see if anyone else had a dark neutral.
This was my first mystery with Bonnie. I'm hooked for next year!
