The plan:
Coming to life:
This will be a bed quilt…I don’t have a good way to photograph it, but you can see that I am making some progress.
I had originally planned on this being a scrappy red and white quilt. But then I won the gorgeous Island Batik fabric (so excited)! Why didn’t I switch some of those half square triangles to flying geese? It would’ve been easier. Alas…I didn’t think to do that until after I cut the fabric.
Nope…not all my seams are lined up. I’m okay with that. Seeking perfectionism doesn’t make me happy. My happiness is in the creative process, and one day, a finished project.
Speaking of slow stitching (you can’t be much slower than me), have you seen Mark Lipinski’s blog featuring the Slow Stitching Movement? I find it quite inspiring. Perhaps you will too!
Now, slowly on to the borders.
Gorgeous quilt! Great work. I can’t wait to see the whole thing.<3 Cherie

Laura,
Even if I squint I can’t see any mismatched corners … mind you, the viewing distance might have something to do with that!
It is looking great!
