Back in July I took a
workshop with Bonnie Hunter and had a perfectly wonderful day making blocks for a scrappy
My Blue Heaven quilt. I came home all excited after Bonnie's lecture about how we could piece the quilt using her
leaders and enders method and the quilt would practically sew itself. I set the box of scraps on the corner of my sewing table and there it sat for 6 months...untouched. Nope, this quilt wasn't going to sew itself. I do like the idea of leaders and enders or even just sitting and doing some mindless sewing for a few minutes each day, but the desire to make this quilt just wasn't there for me, so I decided to put the finished blocks together and make something with them...anything! It's now a table topper instead of a bed quilt, but a finish is still a finish...right?

Definitely...a finish is a finish, and this one is so pretty! :0)
A finished quilt is a great quilt, in my book... Good job!
Yes indeedy!! Finished is finished! I have one like that too. Will be a lap quilt!!!
It looks wonderful too. It didn't sew itself???? Hmmm.
Of course it's a finish, now something useful instead of sitting in that box. Years ago, my husband commented on the nice thick hot mat in use on the table and made some sarcastic remark about it actually being finished. But I admitted it had started out to be a rug.
Kudos to you
I agree it beautiful. I was doing Leaders and Enders too until I got a sewing machine with the scissor feature. Now it's just so much easier to cut the threads with the thread cutter than it is to use the leaders and enders approach. I do have a tin full of tiny patch blocks that I need to use. Great idea! Thanks.
You betcha! And it's a pretty finish, too!
A finish is a finish! :) Cute table topper!
definitely! it's finished, it's terrific and it's off your mind. Move on to something that excites you!
yes it is! Everything doesn't need to fit a bed! I love it!
This is wonderful.
