If at first you don't succeed....

....chuck it and start over.

Yep, gotta start my little quiltlet all over again. When I opened my swap quilt from Kristin today, it seemed so large to me. So I got out my measuring tape. The instructions are for the project to be no smaller than 16" x 16" and no larger than 20" x 20". With all the frog-stitching and re-stitching and replacing, my little project now measures 14" x 16"--UNquilted.

Oops.

Back to the cutting board.


Photos previously promised must be postponed.


Later, dudes, um, dudettes.

Oh Sandra, that's too bad about the quilt. I hope it's a pattern you love so it won't make the frogging too painful. Have a fabulous weekend.!
Aloha!

But the batting has already been trimmed down. I'd already basted it and was ready to stitch down the appliques, quilt the border and attach the binding.
