I'm on a roll with the Midnight Garden quilt. I dithered briefly about the edge blocks before plunging ahead with my original orientation. I've panicked a few times thinking I sewed the corner to the wrong spot or cut the block the wrong way.
I keep telling myself: Trust the process.
That seems to be working! I've only had to rip out and reset two wonky corners of my completed blocks so far; they seem to be assembling
cleanly.
The main design wall is looking good! Last night I stitched the first two rows together: mostly pointy, mostly flat. Excellent. I may go back to fix two squares that are a little off.
The secondary design wall is looking empty. Yay! I'm slightly more than halfway through them. Love that blank space.
After my first few blocks I graduated to working two blocks at a time... but can you see that one of these corners is not like the others? Drat. I tracked down a trio of blocks - two that had wrong corners and one that was missing its corner. Given their position on the quilt I must have worked both blocks at the same time. I guess I need to trust but verify...
I have been tracking my time on this project - I estimate another eight hours of sewing on corners and probably an hour or two to sew up the rows (and of course an hour to admire/scrutinize my work). Is it possible I could have a flimsy in a week??
