Well, This is Progress

It isn't finished, but it's nearly there. I got all the rows put together for the red, cream, and blue quilt I have been working on this summer.

It is a BOM from Piecing the Past called Peace and Healing. At least that's what I think it is called. All their BOMs have names that sound alike, so I can't keep them straight. They have a new one starting up in September with a name so similar I had to email the organizer and ask if it was a repeat of one they had done before! She emailed back and said it was "a new one". LOL The sew-alongs they offer have names like Rest and Refreshing, Comfort and Blessing, Peace and Healing, Comfort and Healing. It makes me dizzy.

Hmmm, I did some checking, and the sew-along Piecing the Past is offering in September looks to me to be an absolute repeat of the Comfort and Blessing one they did summer of 2020. Same name, all the same blocks. So, not new.

I had some major issues sewing the lattices on this thing. Nothing wrong with the pattern, just lots of different-sized setting triangles that I managed to sew on wrong or omit completely so nothing fit right. I finally put my concentration cap on and studied the layout diagram and eventually sorted it out.

I still have to sew on some large corner triangles and get the borders on it. Not sure when that will happen, but it sure won't take as long as me fussing with those lattices did! 

Working with these fabrics and making the blocks each week was very enjoyable this summer. It will be great to have the quilt on my bed next year.

I hate those days when I think I'll zip right through something & then run into so many 'goof-up's' that it becomes frustrating! Glad it all straightened out in the end!

really lovely! I love the 4 patch cornerstones.

I am working on Comfort and Blessings 2020 now in-between other projects and I recognized many blocks in the new one. I have downloaded Peace and Healing too. Also, the new one is not free, so I wouldn't consider it anyway. But she does have beautiful quilts! I like your blue, cream, and red very much.
