Betty's Box Kite
Well, You all may remember my conundrum- I wrote about it HERE. I was trying to keep the integrity of the designer's assembly instructions but it wasn't working at all! I redrafted it in EQ and sent her photos comparing my EQ and hers and the end result was very similar. I called, we chatted, and she agreed to revising the directions. So, I started all over.
I took a day all to myself, before company came in, and got this top put together! Woop! Woop!

Your solution makes so much more sense! Less waste and fewer seams to match.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this finish. You persevered and made a beeeaaauuutiful quilt! I love the little block in the corner of the border. Nice touch. It is very beautiful, imperfections and all. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSure that this must have been a challenge, but end result is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood job! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteInteresting design formed with the pinwheel blocks and the log cabin blocks. Depending on the style of fabric used, it could have a very modern look or a more prim look if you used plaids, etc.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! A Very striking quilt!! Good for you for sticking with it!
ReplyDeleteYea for working it out and a finished top! Woohoo! Good solution
ReplyDeleteIt is a very striking design - it looks wonderful! So glad you could get it done :0)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you were effective as a pattern tester. It has great visual appeal
ReplyDeleteCame out great! As always, you did an amazing job!! Love even the corners. Porter seems happy, too! Lucky you having a full day to work it out!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell but did you end up sewing the blocks together in a diagonal and not frame the pinwheels.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your negotiation and redesign.
I probably would have tossed the whole project in the closet or maybe even the trash. You figured it all out and made a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Sometimes people get so excited with a technique that they don't see the simple solution right in front of them. Good call to change the construction. I've done pattern testing for a number of designers and some are glad to hear the feedback, and some not. All the "magic" blocks (nine-patch etc) usually can be made more accurately and effectively and quickly with more traditional construction methods.
ReplyDeleteLori guapo. guapo, original
ReplyDeletesaludos
All designers should have persistent and accuate people to test patterns. Great job!
