I've made quite a few half square triangles now.
There's lots of mess! My mother in law will be pleased to see I didn't just swipe these trimmings onto the floor!
Gail asked me to trim and then quilt her Kaffe diamond quilt top. For some reason my camera doesn't take a great picture of it because the design is fabulous!
I struggled to work out where to trim the edges and when I looked closely I discovered the culprit. It's quite difficult matching points in seams when you're sewing diamonds and Gail's points are not working which is probably the reason why the edges aren't in line for me to trim correctly.
I spoke to Gail and she gave me permission to fix the quilt. I could quilt it and trim it as is but it would be hard work for me and the result wouldn't be great which would be a terrible shame. So I unpicked the rows!
Wellington rather likes the quilt like this. Ssh! Don't tell Gail!
I've pressed all the rows with some iron aid so they're all nice and flat and ready to sew back together. I did notice that a few of the end blocks need to be unpicked and repositioned but I'll do those as I start sewing it all together. Hopefully it'll be a quick fix and the top will be up on the frame in no time.
