    Default Chicopee Square...a quilt for my niece

    A lot of points were sacrificed in the making of this quilt...lol. It's a pattern called Chicopee Square. It calls for a faster way of making flying geese. I must not have measured 1/4" correctly or maybe cut them wrong. But, I ended up with some that had the appropriate 1/4" above the point & a lot that didn't. That made piecing it not much fun. Although, I do think it came out pretty. My niece Ashley doesn't know anything about quilting, so she probably won't notice (fingers crossed).

    I love this! The colors are bright and cheery and the black and white checkered is what makes this quilt super cute in my book!

    Perfection is highly over rated! Love this quilt....the swirls in the white are great and adds lots of movement! It looks perfect to me! When my points don't come out pointy.....I call it a "Safety Quilt". No sharp points....lol

    I imagine we have all missed points in our past, some in quilting and some in other areas.

    I love everything about your quilt. If points were sacrificed I didn't notice them. Beautiful.

    I think your quilt is beautiful. Points are overrated in my opinion. Although I think your points are great. I'm making a mini periwinkle and lots of matching seams that aren't happening. I decided to let them hit and miss after I took one part out so many times it left a hole in the fabric which was fun to replace.
