Thanks for posting a pic. It actually turned out nice, once it's washed it will have a nice vintage puckered look that will give it that warm loved feel, be proud that it's completed. You have helped a UFO to come to life!

Here's a couple of pics of the finished quilt. I think it was about the most frustrating one I've worked on. As you can see, there aren't many straight lines on it. Glad it's done! :D

Eddie, I was happy to see the finished quilt. It's beautiful! Yeah, the blocks are wonky, as you put it, but if I were its owner, I'd be curling up under it right now...either with a good book or watching a classic movie!

Merry Christmas to you and all on this board!

Both sound dreadful. Good luck finishing that quilt top :-)

It looks wonderful. glad it worked, quilted out. Maybe there is hope for my poorly pieced, vintage double wedding ring.

Eddie, if I had only seen the pictures, I would have never known there was anything wrong with this quilt top. You do some wonderful work and I think you could make a burlap bag look good!

I probably am the exception to the rule, but at this point I call the customer and tell her there is a problem and come pick it up. I machine quilt for "fun". If there is to much fullness, then I explain how to measure the borders. I have one customer that when the phone rings, she says, I know, I will be back to pick it up. We have devised the ruffle test. She goes to her church and lays the quilt on the large floor. If it is flat, I get it.
