Well how did it get to October already. Anyhoo with it being the 1st of October yesterday it was time for Friday Night with Friends hosted by lovely Cheryll.
I had my day planned to start early but was interrupted & that just seemed to set to scene for the day. 1st my iron had melted felt on it which i didn't realise so it ended up on the back of a block i was pressing. Hmm how to clean that off. Managed to remove it so i could get back to pressing without fear of more icky stuff on my block. 1 blessing i guess if you can call it that was it ended up on the back & not the front. :). So what went wrong next. Oh yes i sewed the first row to the 2nd row on the wrong side so reverse sewing was in order. Was it over yet? no after the top was together i found i had placed 2 blocks together that weren't supposed to be. Darn i was following the designers photo carefully or so i thought!! Well that was that the block was staying there. Oh there was some quilting issues which involved reverse sewing but i got there in the end with possibly some swearing & thoughts of throwing the quilt in the corner. lol
Sew what did i make.

Your small quilt is just gorgeous Jeanette. I think we all have sewing days like that - where it all turns to custard !! I know I do. !!
Your quilt is so pretty Jeanette, even if it was fighting with you to not be finished.
I feel your frustration...many an item has ended up the the corner over the years. Well done on sticking with it.
Very pretty mini quilt, J.P Singer said, "the creative progress is series of crieses".

What a marathon. I think I would have walked away from it until another day. You did well to persevere and the end result is beautiful. Well done.
Very annoying when we have days like that but you got there in the end.
Well done.
Worth the effort.... It looks good....
Good for you to not give up after facing those challenges. I love the blue background, it really makes the blocks pop. I hope to join next month's FNwF. It's fun to see what everyone creates.
Your quilt is just beautiful! I did sew along with all of you but forgot to sign up... oh well! xx
I just love Temecula Quilt QALs too! I've done several but not that one. Great job. Despite a few setbacks, it turned out beautifully!
