It’s been another day of That Fairy Tale Quilt. I put the last row together and was excited at the thought of stitching the centre four rows together. I put it all out on the floor across the hall from my sewing room and noticed that the top two rows were just a tad shorter than the bottom two rows.

I took another look at the pattern and realized that on both of those rows I had missed a 1″ border piece. Whew – no ripping out and fudging seams (at least at this point).

I also noticed that I have to put a sashing between each of the rows and, of course, those sashing rows are made up of three or more pieces so there will be a lot more stitching required before any of the rows come together.

I had hoped to get back to some cards tomorrow but I’m determined to get the centre of this finished before moving on. It is my April UFO Challenge project and although it will be far from complete having the centre put together will make for a good stopping place until I pick it up again.
