This is the second half of this wonderful Saturday. I am finishing the Wedding Ring Star quilt that I started 4 years ago, bought the pattern and material in Intercourse, Penn. for $4.00 yard, gorgeous material.
Having no problems with this quilt until I go to put it together and see that each section won't lay flat, no matter how much I press it. The problem is with the melons that are inside the rings. I took a short cut and made these melons with 3 pieces instead of the 4 it called for. When will I learn short cuts never work.
When I got home I spent last night taking apart all of the sections holding these melons.
I now have to press all these pieces, and re-cut one of the sections into two pieces , instead of one. Thank goodness I have lots of this background material left. This is just like making a new quilt. Will show this as I get along, it really is a beautiful pattern.
The afternoon of this wonderful Saturday was still great as I had solved two problems and was looking forward to getting on with them.
To finish a great day I decided to stop at the dog park, so Maggie could have a run and visit some of her friends. The park was full of large, rambunctious dogs going a little crazy chasing each other. A very solid and large labrador retriever crashed into the back of my legs, nearly knocking me flying, and without realizing it I twisted my foot. This didn't bother me until later that night, and now this morning I have got a very sore foot and am having difficulty putting any weight on it. Good excuse to stay home and get on with my quilting challenges.
It was a good Saturday.
