This is it! If you've been hanging around here for a while you've seen the progress on this quilt many times.
My plan was to do a big quilt even if it took me forever. In the end I decided that big would never get done; not even in forever. It's small, but I love it.
The quilt is from a tutorial by Don't Look Now. The whole method of putting this together as blocks and ending up without seam lines between the blocks is brilliant. How she came up with that I'll never know! It is tricky and unwieldy, but goes together perfectly. In the end, because of the size of mine, I could have done it on one piece of background fabric. My quilt is only 36" wide.

The directions called for a Floriani product called "Stitch and Wash Fusible". I'm not sure I had the correct product. I thought it was supposed to wash out, but mine did not. I washed the top and it softened, but did not dissolve.
Of course, then it needed a curved binding. I went to my old faithful book Happy Endings for directions on how to bind the curves. Worked perfectly!
