I got back on the sewing machine 2 weeks after my finger-sewing incident. I was sewing the outer white sashing when I sewed myself, so I finished that and added the border. I wasn't going to finish it, but since it now has such a great story to go with it, I think I'm going to finish it and keep it for myself.
I love the pattern, but in the end, I think it's too busy. Maybe I should have used less variety of fabrics, but it's growing on me a little, too.
I certainly learned a lot with this quilt such as making sure you cut your fabric in the correct direction so the pieces line up nicely together. I also learned that I'm not great at points yet, and they are tricky! If you don't look too closely you can't see all my mistakes :-) I'd like to try to make this same pattern in a red/white/black Nebraska Cornhusker theme, but I have a few other things I'm working on first.
This is also the largest quilt I've made so far, so after spring break I will tackle putting the back together and quilting it. I'm a little nervous about that, so maybe I'll just quilt straight lines. We'll see! I'll post the final product when I'm done!
