A boo boo
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Our son and family were here and it was the kind of day you don’t want to end. But end it did. There are still the memories to warm the heart and draw a smile.
Unfortunately the weather forecast kept me home on Saturday, when I had planned to journey out to the quilt shops for bag day. If you have a bag from this year’s quilt shop hop you get 20% off your purchases at participating quilt shops. Since I do actually need a couple pieces of fabric I thought it would be a good day to go.
This evening I pieced together another block for the Forest Floor block of the month. I had hoped to get two done but they always take more time than you think they will. Granted, had I actually gotten a block done every month when I got the pattern and fabric the quilt top would be done. Not sure it would be quilted. I pressed most of the seams open on tonight’s block. When I started the blocks, most of the seams were pressed to one side. There are several places where the needle will go “thunk” while quilting if it hits places where there are multiple layers of fabric . That sound always give me a moment of anxiety.
Have you ever gotten a block together and discovered a mistake? As I uploaded the picture I immediately spotted a boo-boo, so I guess I’m not done with this block. Hopefully I can get it fixed without taking the entire block apart. I wonder if I should take pictures of the rest of the blocks. It is much easier to spot mistakes on a photo than just looking at the block. Time to pull out the seam ripper and start frogging. Sigh.
