Net Decrease YTD: 59.69 yards Now as to how I quilted this quilt. I was going to do the 2012 FMQ Challenge piece for August. Wrong! I just couldn't get the hang of it - I tried and tried. I did pages of paper drawing to no avail. The pattern, a jester's cap motif, just wouldn't materialize for me, sink into my psyche. I think it was the going backwards that got to me. My brain couldn't handle it. Once in a while I got it, but then I'd quilt myself into corners or leave behind huge gaps, that I gave up. So I did some doodling instead for this quilt.
You can click on the photos to enlarge if you want to. I incorporated some leaves and her initials here and there.
Here's how it looks in the border:
Again, the lighting was lousy, so you have to enlarge the photo to see how it fit between the two motifs. I'm binding it now so it will be ready for tomorrow's shower. SewCalGal, please count me out of the drawing for this month's prize. I'll keep trying - maybe I'll get the hang of that jester hat.

How did you do with your destashing?
When I did the border with FMQ, I had a space and decided to put my label there.

You are not the only one to have trouble with this design. It is much harder then it looks.
ReplyDeleteI did an okay job with it but thought it was very hard! I think many people had a hard time with this one. I'm not satisfied so I guess I'll just have to keep practicing!
ReplyDeleteLove the label!!! Now that is super. I haven't even tried drawing this challenge, it scares me. I like your leaves too. Guess I better get the paper out and give this one a try.
