Tuesday night I had a terrible sleep because I kept thinking of that quilt top. The majority of folks liked the third (and most difficult) option but I knew I would have trouble aligning all the blocks properly. So when I got up Wednesday morning I was determine to use the first (and easiest) layout – at that point getting it done was more important than any artistic concerns.

Pat offered to go down to the workshop with me because he wanted to try something a bit different. I liked what he came up with but again, it was going to be difficult. I thought it showed off the floral fabric which is what I liked about the first and simplest layout. I powered on and hoped to have the top done by the evening.

Mid-afternoon, after ripping out various seams I made one more alignment mistake and gave up in disgust. But this morning I was back at it. I got the reverse stitching done, the seams sewn in the right order and I’m very happy with it. I’m not sure though if I’m happy because it is done or because I really like it.
