So, my first quilting project wasn't too successful. . . I decided maybe I needed to try something else so I took a class in the Log Cabin quilt. My demo square (above) was hand-quilted, but I'd already decided that what was preventing me from finishing my Cathedral Window quilt was the hand-sewing. So, I decided to machine stitch it.
First, I decided on the color scheme--beiges, blue, and cranberry. I spent months just buying up corduroy fabric with the correct shades.
Then, I cut the strips, rolled them with rubber bands and began.
Above you can see the "hand-stitched" square and the machine stitched one. A few years ago, I found 8 squares (including the two above). I decided to make them into throw pillows. This week, I went ahead and did it. . . I'm just a few whip-stitches shy of actually finishing a quilt project. . . 30 years later.

finish those OFF already! :) ha ha at least the fabric & color scheme never went out of fabric! i love it STILL!
Believe it or not, I sat down and finished them that night!
Oh my gosh-this is hilarious. I removed my post because I had my fingers on the wrong keys and wrote something like "brtu brtu [tryyuz" instead of "very very pretty"!. It makes it seem like I had written something dirty and decided to delete it!
