Hallelujah! My “quilt of errors” is FINALLY finished! Well, at least the top is finished … I am so happy to finally get it done. I’m also happy to report that I used up all my patriotic strips/scraps on this top. Read about my progress here.
I really like the border with the delectable mountain blocks. This was my first time making the block and had to improvise because I didn’t really have a pattern. The blocks were not so easy to make and are definitely not perfect.
The top is much bigger than I anticipated, finishing at 85” square. I’m sure this will nicely cover a queen-size bed. There are nine blocks with 16 units each; and each block measures 26-1/2 inches. Can you believe I was originally going to make it with 12 blocks?! Anyway, making this quilt top was definitely a learning experience.
