Well Cuties, I’m beginning to think this pattern or design is not meant for me. You can read and you may have already read about this block in my post in Projects. To continue, I decided to try this chain block around that same panel I was going to use in my quilt in Projects. Now I ran out of fabric for my bottom border! I wanted to get this done but now will have to wait for our next meeting to get enough fabric to finish.This is such a simple block but sometimes it is so easy you get careless and that’s exactly what I did when I got my smaller 4patches colors wrong on the first quilt. The corner 4 patches have acolor and background together. Only the larger center 4 patch has the 2 colors together. Anyway, I am done until I get enough fabric for the bottom.

You are a machine it took me 1 year to make 2. No more ,,they were for my teenage grandchildren Some thing to remember Nana by . I have the greatest respect for quilters but my sewing all those straight lines went a bit crooked sometimes ,they were queen size I did a lot of unpicking . UUUUGGGGG. My husband says I hold the record of unpicking told him if he said it one more time I would stick the unpicker into him and see if he unravels LOL. We got there but it felt like a marathon . I am a machine embroiderer so will stick to that .

Is it my eyes mesmerized or what? To me I see nothing wrong except it looks ready for a wide red border at the bottom. I don't see no mistake upon looking at it again.

The only thing ‘wrong’ with this one is I ran out of red for the bottom, delaying my finish. I now have the additional piece I was lacking. Thanks!

It was the blue background one that I got the colors wrong, so I had to compromise the design.

I needed to help Sharon update her record for me and since joining in 2019 I have made 42 for Quilts of Valor. So after that I was curious to see how many other quilts I’m made in that time and it was 44, so almost the same. Some of those were children’s quilts but a good many were bed size. Thank you for looking & commenting.
