How do you think of all those details?? Truly, it all will become a masterpiece and I know that you can do it! Bummer news about the binding for hen party. I do hope that a couple of threads will work for you. Perhaps, you will build some "muscle" and be able to do more in time. My heart skips a beat every time I see your Allietare; it is so lovely!TerryKnott.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797650304123541113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-77306433780272718852017-03-01T22:57:43.115-05:002017-03-01T22:57:43.115-05:00A positive change.A <i>positive</i> change.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-87332906334568334022017-03-01T22:56:00.242-05:002017-03-01T22:56:00.242-05:00LOL, thanks, Jillian!

Today I found that I miscalculated the binding width, and I'm going to have to hand sew that one too. It will be the <i>last</i> family quilt, the resistance is insane. But hopefully, with slow steady work on the bindings, I'll figure out a better ergonomic approach as well. Spring is coming, time for a change!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-14107165431131483212017-03-01T21:54:26.440-05:002017-03-01T21:54:26.440-05:00Plenty to do is an understatement!

The quilt will indeed be awesome. Such a shame about your striped fabric and good on you for persevering with joining.

Seems Mary and I share the same thoughts.The Alletaire quilt is coming along beautifully.

I love to do hand sewn binding; if we lived closer I would gladly take that on for you.

I think it will be worth it. And...since the 30" limit for the challenge no longer applies...maybe I can add at least one more round!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-7365877873469264592017-02-28T19:52:54.501-05:002017-02-28T19:52:54.501-05:00I'm sorry to hear that your back is still a ba...I'm sorry to hear that your back is still a battle, but you're clearly proving that when there's a will, there's a way.<br /><br />Alletaire is absolutely striking. That's going to be some WOW quilt on your bed, or wherever it will reside. Love the colours. Stipple quilting was clearly the way to go on Hen Party. Too bad about all of the unquilting that had to happen first. Piecing the binding is worth it if the fabric is the perfect fit. I do that as well when necessary. And Brinton Hall is right up my alley. The hand embroidery on the fussy cut fabric, set into fussy cut hexies will be extraordinary, whenever it gets done. Don't give up on that one.Seams Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783229116723144338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-14469997325409108182017-02-28T16:04:18.963-05:002017-02-28T16:04:18.963-05:00I'm so sorry about your back and it now allowi...I'm so sorry about your back and it now allowing you to do much handwork. It is always sad when pain limits what we can do. Your flower vignettes are gorgeous and your little hexies are so perfectly cut. I always love the kaleidoscope effect created when cut this way. Your Allietare is fabulous! Of all of Bonnie's mysteries I like this one best and your fabrics and colors are beautiful.

It's frustrating to have enthusiasm for a project and then not be able to work on it as long as you'd like to because your body can't handle the strain. I notice with my hand quilting that I can't quilt as long as I used to. I can, however, quilt in the early morning and then again in the evening (if I haven't overtaxed my eyes by reading). It's always something new to adapt to. Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.com
