My inspirational word for the year is Try. This little quilt is the result of a Modern8create challenge. My first attempt at pieced lettering reminds me of my first grade penmanship class...ink blots everywhere! I quilted the "crayola" border with perle cotton in Big stitch style...another first for me. Heck, it goes a lot faster than those ten to the inchers that used to take me forever to finish, and besides I like the way these look, too. Am reminded of Brenda Papadakis' comment on making Dear Jane quilts..."Done is better than perfect!"
great letters, especially for a first attempt. I like everything about this little quilt.

ReplyDeleteDone IS better than perfect and when you have enough "dones" amazingly you work is much closer to perfect.
ReplyDeleteBecause we all know.....practice makes perfect :0).
