I have spent the last two weeks working on my RRCB ("Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll",a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt from 2010) I had a Plan "A" which quickly went in ditch after quilting two blocks...I hated it!..it took my husband and I two days of un-stitching and then I started fresh on Plan "B". I am not loving this quilting plan either but I am continuing on with it because I can't bear to rip it all out again. This quilt is so huge and heavy and I can only FMQ for short periods of time because it is really hard on my arms and neck. I am almost halfway done and as my bad luck with this quilt would have it...I am running out of thread..so again, not happy. I will put it aside for a little while, until my thread arrives, and work on my piece for the Quilt Canada exhibit. Time is running out quickly on this one. I have to have it in the mail by 23rd. I am just about to do the FMQ and some handwork and I will show you when it is complete.
Between the ripping and the cursing I did manage to get another New York Beauty block completed.
I love making these blocks . Still no definite plan on how I will use them in a quilt , just making them til inspiration strikes.Also, here is my block for Month 7 of the Blogger's Block of the Month.

I am sorry you are having so much trouble quilting RRCB, hopefully things will settle down and it will be the beauty it is meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI love mystery quilts, but I'm sorry to hear you've had problems with yours. How nice though to have a husband who helps!!
ReplyDeleteYour husband helped you remove the stitching? He sounds like a keeper. I hope you're having better luck this week.
