Sedona Top Done

My one monthly goal for August was to finish my Sedona top.   There were only 2 rows left to make, but I also had to sew a lot of them together.  I know it would not have gotten finished this month if I hadn't made my commitment to it public in OMG.


I started Sedona because I wanted to learn how to use my Quick Curve mini ruler.  I am feeling more confident with it now, and I made fewer mistakes towards the end of the quilt than I did at the beginning.  I still think this is the kind of ruler that has a steep learning curve, and if you don't like to square things up, it is probably not the ruler for you.

Sedona is 63"x 69".  There is a chance I will add a red border to it to make binding easier since there are a lot of thick seams along the edge.   But I might get lazy and just send it to the longarmer as it is.

Your top is lovely. I too have a steep learning curve with the quick curve rulers. After putting it down for over a year, I find I am almost back where I started with that thing.

Your quilt is gorgeous! I have used the large quick curve ruler, but not the mini. I own it and may have to get it out and play with it after seeing your beauty.

Lovely! I like the SKoW rulers and the patterns are so well written. This quilt is on my wish list to make in the future. I think I've already purchased it.
