Hello Cuties, I wanted to finish this queen quilt top before I started keeping Rylan Monday. I don't know how, but I managed to get it done, in between keeping Nora and Gus a week for mom and dad to go on vacation, Nora's piano and dance recitals and then having to keep them again for a few days, because mom had unexpected surgery. All is well and soon dad will pick them up. Maybe the week-end I can rest. Don't tell anyone-lol

Anyway, I was going to wait until I got it back, as I will send this one to a quilter. However, after reading mops post I thought I'd go ahead and tell you what I did.
I had a good day when I started out with cutting the panel and framing it to resemble a window. I also started my mortar and bricks across the top and bottom. All was good.
Then the next time I had a sewing day, I went to figure and sew my mortar and bricks on the sides, I ripped as much as I sewed. I had to figure it to come out at top and bottom corners and also match the mortar lines across the top and bottom. I thought I was doing good and all was well.
How mistaken I was!
When I got the whole right side by the panel done I laid it on the floor in the living area. I started laying out my bricks for the left side, when my hubby said, look at the right. It slowly got narrower from top corner to bottom corner! SO...o.o.o
I re-newed my friendship with the ripper. I had to un-pick, rip, take apart , yes all that and more, almost the whole right side by the panel/window.
Needless to say, I am glad to be finished with this. I said I will not make another like this, but after some time I have gotten hungry to sew and have eaten words before.-lol
Anyway, it is like the throw I made before, only a lot bigger, with the bricks on the sides and, of course, more on top and bottom.
I hung it between my curtains and it does make it look like a wall-lol-second photo is on a queen bed. The fellows like it for their camps, but I hope others like it too. I will once it's outta here-lol
So Martine, I had a lot of tiny stitching to unpick! We all have those days, if we sew very much at all.
