I made a lot of progress on the En Provence quilt and it is nearing the conclusion.<\/p>\n

\"En<\/a>
En Provence -December 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I started out Saturday afternoon sewing the two halves of the top together. Then I laid out the quilt to see where I was. It was really great to see almost the whole quilt laid out. I think it looks really great.<\/p>\n

After seeing the quilt so close to completion, I was on fire to sew the last 4 rows. I took everything back upstairs and laid on that bottom corner on my design wall.\u00a0 I didn’t have much more time to do that on Saturday and no time to sew.<\/p>\n

En Provence Beginning – Dec. 3, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Laying out the last corner was huge, though. I found I was missing a couple of Peaky & Spike blocks, so I had to cut some fabric to finish those. It was good, though, because I could switch out some of the Peaky & Spike blocks that I hadn’t yet sewn.<\/p>\n

After we came back from a NSGW event on Sunday afternoon, I put the pedal to the metal on my sewing machine and sewed 3 rows. I know there are only 3 blocks left in each row, but there is still a lot of piecing. I also have to add the border and that makes some of the blocks larger, thus more time consuming to sew.<\/p>\n

En Provence – 3 good rows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I ended up with what I thought was 3 good rows.<\/p>\n

Standing back really helps and I found a mistake. I stopped after the mistake block. It was really too late for me to be sewing anyway and I’d already had to rip out two sections of that block.<\/p>\n

Except for the two pieces, I am pleased with how this quilt came out. It is not insane like Grand Illusion<\/a>, but it was complex enough to keep me interested and interesting enough to want to continue to look at it.<\/p>\n

I’ll fix it next time….whenever that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
