Fixing the Burbles

I met a new Quilt! This quilt had been pieced by a few different people. Blocks were made by a group, it was sashed by another, and then my dear Client finished it up. Needless to say there were a few measuring discrepancies in it.

Not a problem. I took a lot of measurements before I started, and in the end - we had a fairly Square quilt.


Can you see the way the fabric was eased?  It made a few burbles. So in each block I stitched in the ditch to give it a frame.... and then quilted in the fullness.

It was so nice to see the finished result. Each block came out so nice.

I was in such a hurry to get it back to her in time for Christmas that I forgot to take a full photo....

But just so you are not sad - here are my boys - in serious mode... can you guess what they are sitting on?

    A corral?! You were brave to take on a project like that! Having been in charge of a couple of raffle quilts, I know how hard they can be to get em where they look OK.

    I did a customer quilt that looked like this once. It was beautiful embroidery with fullness EVERYWHERE! I did basically the same thing, SID'ed each block and stippled the heck out of it. The quilt was later appraised at $1200.00, so I guess I nailed it as well as you did with this one.
