Quilting Woe's

Well, I really did work hard to finish up my quilt by the end of this month. I had the top of the quilt finally put together and decided I should wash it to make sure none of the stitching would come out later on once it was completely put together. Even with all of the seams reinforced with a zigzag stitch I still had a lot more holes than I had hoped for. Now I will have to take a day to go back and mend the top part of the quilt. I think it's time for me to figure out how to thread my serger. At least that way the seams will really be held together well.

It is quite upsetting that all my hard work didn't pay off as much as I had hoped it would. I will for sure be using the serger to make sure that this won't happen once the whole quilt is put together.

Here are a few pictures of the quilt now:





It will probably be awhile before this quilt is finished. The main reason is I forgot I still have to buy the middle stuff (can't remember what it's called) and I haven't really looked to see where I can get that or how much it is. I'm thinking about getting it from WalMart if I can find some there. Not only that, but now I have to fix all these holes so it will be awhile longer before I post the final outcome photo's for this quilt. I will admit I am disappointed, but I know that eventually it will get done.

    1. That is so true! I've made two small quilts (baby size) but this is my first attempt at a queen size quilt. All I have to say is it takes a lot of patience!
