The Race is Not to the Swift!


I had the 9 patch blocks complete back in October. The "nerve" to cut them as instructed in "Pick Four" by Sue Abrey finally hit me in early January. All my points matched and the blocks were too pretty to cut and, of course, the holidays happened. Blah! Blah! Blah!

Weeks later the pretty cut, squared up blocks were still stacked neatly on my table. I was ignoring Sue's suggestion I piece them. Her book provides both well written and visual directions. But .... what if I start and the new points do not match? Blah! Blah! Blah!

Obviously, my mind is my own worst enemy! Today I got moving .....
This quilt is coming together slowly and nicely. I am pleased with the result. The points are lining up and I enjoyed my day. All I've got to say is -
THE RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT!

HAPPY QUILTING TO ALL

Your quilt is going to be soooooo wonderful...and with all points matching that is a grand accomplishment (least ways for me it is).

It's beautiful. I love your fabrics, but heyy ... where in my instructions did I say all the points have to match? I know mine don't always!

'what if I start and the new points don't match?' - well no worries there as you were so careful cutting the blocks down. It looks fab!
