So all that work (plus time, fabric, wadding) was a bit pointless . . . and to make it worse the customer texted to say the baby she wanted it for has arrived!
The baby is to be called Luke (shame it wasn't Henry) so I'm frantically making another Orphan Block Vanishing 9 Patch, and will hope to get it finished by the weekend.
There was enough fabric for the top, but I need to get to a fabric shop tomorrow for the backing!
Well how inconsiderate of that baby to put in an appearance already ;o) Happy shopping tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHang on - there is bound to be a Henry around very soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteI know it's a nuisance, but unpick the quilting, use a thinner batt, and it can still be used for a baby quilt - washing softens that interfacing pretty well. Wonder if my email got to you with the link to Crooked Nickel Quilt Designs? Margaret
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame that the first one is stiff. I wonder if washing would help. Good luck with getting the next one finished:)
ReplyDeleteYou can't lose all this hard work, and very interesting technique you have worked on. There must be a way to rescue this quilt.
ReplyDeleteand good luck on making another one, you are so good.
Babies huh? Not consideration or stamina for a concrete quilt!
ReplyDeleteCould you tie it instead of quilting it Benta?
