Well, better late than never. I had major problems with the setting triangles distorting on the first month. I took them off put it all to one side and put off redoing them, because I was scared. I continued working on the lattice pieces. The second time I tried to work on the triangles, Iheavily starched the triangles and they went on much better. There should have been a purple crumbcatcher between the applique and the setting triangles but I forgot until two triangles were on

and I wasn't then going to take the triangles off again;-)

I got there eventually

Having taken out my foundation papers I started sewing my pieces together last night and got very frustrated. When stacking the seams, as the instructions say, my seam was going wonky as I went over the bulk of 6 layers of fabric. I finally put it all away and decided to come back to it today a bit fresher. Having read through this thread again, I will repress some of the pieces and try nestling the seams and also try opening the seams right out. There is one advantage to being behind. I get to use everyone else's experiences to solve my problems.

Thank you all ladies for your help.

Yup! That is where I found it challenging, also! I did stack them, but probably would not if I did them again! Patience and perseverance pays off though! And, a little ripping and re-sewing now and then!

This month went faster than the first month. The paper foundations printed out perfectly and went together very well. I pressed open all the seams to flatten it out, that made the matches look better. Kathy

genevacarroll OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 406	Thanks Margo! You made me laugh out loud... Swags are so pretty, but not me... I'm really having fun with making this quilt my own. With all the stress going on in my life, it's so nice to have this quilt to work on and my great and wonderful friends at TQS....

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Oh, Geneva! It's gorgeous!! Why do I have the feeling that the next border probably won't be swags?

Well, I finally finished February's borders. I've been so busy with a month long trip to Australia/New Zealand, 3 trips to Seattle for my ill mom in law and of course, work! I used the Double Diamond ruler to make the last border. Pretty scary putting on the border, then cutting into it! I then blanket stitched in black on the balck sections and in purple in the green sections. I'm liking this and am trying to come up with the next border. Any ideas? geneva
