I made this top in 2018, basted it in 2021, and was ready to quilt it this month until I looked at it three weeks ago. That was when I decided to make a change to the top. The top is 60”x72” and I want to make it for a queen size bed. I found out that I didn't have enough of the original grey fabric to make more blocks. The grey fabric is Kona but I don't have any record of the name so I can't order it online. My sweet husband drove me to several fabric stores around here and couldn't find the exact same color, so I decided to make it scrappy which I'm very happy about. I found some grey/white fabric from my stash to mix in with different shades of greys. That was when I realized that I have undo the top to mix in the new blocks. I can't just add a row and column to the original top. The real work begins........
Lesson learned; for future projects, make a note of the name of the color, fabric, manufacturer, etc...
I set a goal for February to make 6 more blocks for this top. I ended up making 11 so far. I'm making a few more just to mix things up a bit. I really like the scrappy look.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!!
