An Ugly Quilt Finished

Back in 2017, I wanted to use up some ugly fabric in my RSC blocks as the constant. I loved the Buckwheat block discovered while making the 365 Ultimate Sampler Challenge. So, it was one of the RSC block for that year. I made a few blocks every month using the ugly fabric and the color of the month. 

Buckwheat

Then some squirrels invaded my sewing room and Buckwheat was neglected after March. Now a days, I don't even care for this block. So when I rediscovered the blocks in October, while cleaning out a bin, I decided to turn the blocks into something or get rid of them. 

I remembered why these blocks were set aside when I started assembling them together. 

They don't fit together!! 

I managed to make them look "good enough" on most seams but some are just atrocious! 

Anywho! This is the final result. Don't look at the yellow pinwheels (secondary patterns) too close. That's where the sh*t is. 

Like I said it's done : assembled, quilted and bound. It's not very big, only 22 X 36 if I remember correctly. It will be a nice blanket for a dog or a cat I guess. It was brought to a thrift store in town, anonymously. 

The back is nicer than the front. It's a cheat sheet given to me a long time ago. Bound with yellow since it befitted both sides. 

Happy to have another UFO removed from the list. 

The crumb stars are coming along. Here are the red ones. 

I was so excited about having all the stars finished that I didn't take a group photo of the yellow ones. Sorry. 

Half of the blocks are already sewn together and they are a charm to sew compared to Buckwheat! 

Sorry for the shadows. It's hard to find a good place for a photo after 3:30 pm. The sun is already so low by that time. Four more rows to assemble. 

Thank you all for your sweet comments about Raven's departure. I'll try to reply to your comments this weekend. 

Have an AWEsome weekend. ;^)

Will catch up with these talented ladies' link-party at some point. See you there.
