deer valley project update

I finally got the sashing on this thing, it has really been a nightmare putting it together. I don’t know why but every row had to be ripped out and resewn at least once. One of them took like 4 or 5 tries. It was like every time I sewed a row on, no matter how carefully I lined things up and pinned, it came out crooked. I was super irritated. I still need to put the borders on, hopefully that will be a little easier. At least after all that trouble, I finally got the vertical sashing looking straight, but it was the least enjoyable quilt top I have put together so far because I hate having to do things over, but since my pride would not let me have crooked vertical rows, I had to do it! I hope this isn’t a bad omen that the quilting part is going to give me trouble too!

wow this is amazing! I love seeing your quilts on craftster. so many ppl make quilts but not as many think about the fabrics with a design-mind … it kind of makes me sad for all the work that goes into those quilts.
Anyway, as usual, totally awesome.
