More Progress

Got the center of The Between Charming Friends quilt together today. This has been a challenging quilt for me. Lots of pieces in these blocks, and I was quite pleasantly surprised that most of the blocks came out the same size!! I was able to match most seams, although I had to do some easing here and there.

AND I just measured my quilt down the center, 27 1/2", which is what Kelly got when she measured hers in the tutorial! That is amazing for me..... I may get my blocks the same size, but not always the size they are "supposed" to be! heheheh

One issue I do have is those darn triangles!! The little end ones seem to be too small!! (look at lower right corner) I guess I have to take them off and cut new ones???

Now to get working on the pieced border.


PS If you want to see a great thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the end, go see "Inception" with Leonardo DiCaprio. My son and I went to see this and it was GREAT!!! Don't find out too much about it before hand either.... just go along for the fun ride!

  3. Sheila, I think your quilt is turning out very nicely! And I probably wouldn't have noticed your end triangles if you hadn't pointed it out. But it looks like an easy fix?

    Oooh, I want to see that movie...hubby hates going to the movies so we usually wait until they come out on Pay Per View. However, he's traveling next week so I may just hit a matinee!

    XOXO,
