\"Field<\/a>
Field Day Top Sans Borders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally almost<\/em> finished the Field Day Zipper<\/a> top. I thought this would be the end, but I decided after looking at what I have that I wanted to add a top and bottom border. Or borders, perhaps? Making visual decisions visually<\/p>\n

It feels like the piecing\u00a0 took forever. It didn’t really take forever, because the last post, which was probably the last time I worked on it, was just June 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I talked about the colors<\/a> and how I was afraid they would be a struggle to work with. They were a struggle. This project turned into a struggle on a number of levels. As I suspected, the colors are a little more muted than colors with which I really enjoy working. Also, the pattern, which I LOVE was just a struggle to put together. You’d think that putting a bunch of squares and rectangles together would be easy. Normally, it is, but I think I must have cut some of the pieces off grain, because the entire top was a PITA to put together. It was rippling and I have been fighting the entire time to get it to bend to my will.<\/p>\n

Also, something about the measurements was off. Perhaps I cut something wrong or who knows? The rows did not exactly line up. I am ok with it, but still annoyed.<\/p>\n

You’ll probably see another post about this next week once I finish the whole thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
