You may recall when I cut out this quilt top... I think I was just starting the sewing back in March ~yikes! :-o Well, the blocks were all together for quite a while, but other things kept getting in my 'q'. :-) I finally spread it out on the floor and told myself it wouldn't come off the floor until it was all together. ;-) Now that is motivation! I hated walking around it! LOL And it is together! It is called 'Honeyberries' from Evelyn Sloppy's book '40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts'. And it was quick to cut out! My problems surfaced when I was sewing it all together and would have the seams both ironed the same way. Any 'normal' person would just reposition the block, give it a twist, etc and the seams would nest with that turn... but then I'd end up with 2 of the same blues right next to each other! I couldn't have that, so I re-ironed a lot of seams. But it is together and I am happy! :-)) I think it might be the perfect top to go back to the quilt shop with and practice some more on the HQ.... but first I need to get a backing together... Oh well, it is off of the floor! :-)))
Have a good night!

Your Honeyberries looks awesome! I am like you in not wanting same fabrics to touch ;)
I'm jealous that you are getting so much done... unitl yesterday I've been covered up in mini 9 patch swap blocks... and no time to do my own sewing... therefore nothing to blog about or show..
I'll try hard to get a good amount of laundry done today so maybe over the weekend I can gt my machine out again and sew for me! :)
Happy Weekend & Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Wowzer! Your quilt top is gorgeous! You must be loving that feeling of accomplishment that you finished a quilt top. I know I like that feeling :^) cheers, QGB
She's a beauty. I. too. would have re-ironed some seams. I like you that way.
