Why 'Oh dear'? Well, after twenty years patchworking one might think that a simple Evening Star block would be put together in a matter of minutes.
Not so . This is heading towards a re cut. Somehow, although I measured each piece very carefully, and cut equally carefully, the block is half an inch too big. Half an inch does matter, as it is a block for the Linus project and they must be nine and a half inches finished size.
The only thing I can think of is that my pencil markings were at fault, so, run and find pencil sharpener and make a big thick lead into a neat thin point. Whose fault was it? Mine.
Remember the Skool motto: 'Never, on any account, beat yourself up!' Overgrown or not, it does look gorgeous Elisabeth.
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your hubby!
I pray he is doing well.
The quilt will turn out beautifully as it is made with love.

I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy recutting and then happy quilting. Better too big than too small.

I've experienced the same thing, honey! Nothing to do but start over. I hope hubs is well, chickee...Smooches for him please.

So sorry, Elizabeth, that your going to have to recut the block. I know how you feel. Sometimes when I was crocheting my afghans this past year, I would have crocheted three rows and then discover an error. I didn't want to redo them but I couldn't stand the thought of an imperfection in the afghan either and had to rip out my whole evenings work.
ReplyDeleteCheer up and better going tomorrow!
Ah, Elizabeth - I am the Queen of Re-cutting and Searching for Dropped Stitches and I hereby absolve you of any and all guilt for wrongful cutting!
ReplyDeleteThe block will be perfect when you've finished with it.
It is a standing joke in our house elizabeth when my husband is wall papering he repeats to himself & me several times "measure twice cut once" this plays in my head when I'm cutting fabric!!!!!!!!!! Marie x
ReplyDeleteone's own faults are the most irritating. I used to patchwork and have a drawer full of a half-finished thing I grew tired of (as had my mother before me). But want to try a more formalised, linesy one, although I know it's asking for trouble given my probs with accuracy. Anyway. It will all be worthwhile. And I wanted to thank you for my gorgeous little badge! I only came across it this morning and were I to thank you on the strand, then it would drop off the bottom. YOU'LL know what I mean!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family! I can only look on in awe at anybody who can make a patchwork - it is one of the things I'd like to have a go at this year...

Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, loving thing for you to do for these children. I visited the Linus project website and I think it is so wonderful. I gave the information to a dear friend of mine that quilts.
Miriam
Dear Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely blog and your quilt block in the making is so pretty! I know you will get it cut out to the correct size. You are so sweet to be making a Linus blanket. It will be much appreciated and cherished by the child that receives it!
Thank you so much for visiting me all the way from beautiful France!
Have a blessed day!
Love, Paula
How frustrating for you. I know when HS and I are making frames and cutting mounts etc - sometimes, despite checking all the measurements somehow they come out wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt will be beautiful. I know it in my heart.
ReplyDeleteMelissa
Ugh. I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate when that happens? It's going to be beautiful when it's done!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet words. Iwanted to let you know that I emailed you.
Blessings,
Miriam
