On The Bright Side Top Done!

I  thought I only had 2 long seams to sew, but it took me about 3 hours to get this quilt top finished. I had to rip out almost every seam in the final row and resew them all.  Somehow I had the blocks turned every which way.   I must have been sleeping when I put this row together!  But it is finally done.





I'm happy with how it turned out.  I knew I didn't want to use white for the background, and vacillated between using light blue or green.  I chose the green, and I hope the recipients like it!

Oh, that's a lot of unpicking of seams. A most fabulous quilt, Laura. The choice of the green fabric background is a most excellent choice.

Nice quilt. I'm sure they will like it. NO fun having to rip out stuff you've already stitched.

What a lovely quilt! The green is perfect; so much more interesting than white or cream.
