    Default oh hilarious. sigh.

    at 2:39 am i rounded the last curve heading into the very last cable section of this handquilted border to discover that the number of sections is uneven.

    i used an interwining pattern with blue and green thread..

    green thread meets blue thread in various runs across the cable: more collision than intertwine...

    perfect.

    label up!

    That cable is just fighting you to the bitter end, isn't it? Done is better than perfect.

    Well, you have made me feel better. I just started quilting the top of a quilt and have had to remove three out of two SID seams. Should be smooth sailing from here. Sorry that I am not the only one struggling....

    i just trimmed the beast and will begin binding today.

    it is terribly beautiful for all its faults, and i have learned so much.

    that most of the mistakes were avoidable, and that none of them are new? well. it is what it is.

    i may never show it to a quilter. no one else will ever be the wiser, truly.

    i am so thankful for all you help through this. it has been an interesting experience....

    "Terribly Beautiful" I will have to remember that term. I bet it is pretty in its uniqueness.

    An oxymoron?
