Thanks to all who commented on the plan to match the back and the front of the hexi table runner, and especially to Katy and Hadley who instructed me to pin, pin and pin through all the layers.
I finished slip stitching the hexies to the grey side, and then set to matching back and front. The first time I did the pinning I forgot to add the wadding first - a few, um, *choice* words were used! Then I took it apart and repinned
I think I matched all the points
I just hope it matches as well when I have finished sewing! If not, plan B involves the quilting being random hexagons on the plain fabric
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
I do hope this works. It's going to be amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the work involved, so a few choice words are expected when a slight error occurs! Thanks to you, I have embarked on my first EPP project! EEEK!
ReplyDeleteYay, happy hedgehog sewing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteI am the unpinning queen of sewing - so no stranger to choice words - my solution - (always) is a cup of tea and a cool down.
ReplyDeleteThat looks incredibly scary! Your quilt tops arrived, thanks so much, you totally rock :o)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed xxx
