My dear Mother-in-law hand stitched several, but one she didn't have the little squares in and she asked me years ago if I could fix it. I couldn't. But I finally figured out you don't stitch to the end of the block. You stitch to the 1/4 seamline. She passed away and now I have to sandwich and quilt them. Oh, me. But they are beautiful.

Same but different - I made an heirloom christening dress for a niece. Beautiful dress, beautiful batiste, incredibly fine lace and embroidery inserts. I called it the Dress From Hell. I'd work for a week or so, and put it down for over a month. Pick up and start over, put it away. If my MIL hadn't bought all the supplies, I would NEVER have finished it.... It won me a pretty blue ribbon at the county fair, and DH said I should have handed over the ribbon with the dress, and I told him, "Oh HECK no, I slaved over the dress, I earned that ribbon, they're aren't getting that ribbon!" As much as I loved my niece, I earned that ribbon, not her... My friends still laugh about that one.
