(alias Utelias Vili)
All went well until I had sewn the sashing strips...
What do you think?
Do they look a little bit heavy?
Yes....
.... absolutely yes! The narrower strip will be better!
BUT how we make that trick? There are lots of seams, which I have to unpick!
Krrrr! Why I didn't thought this thoroughly... earlier????? Why.... why...?
If I only cut the strips half.... and then I sew them together again?
How does it sound?
It sounds good!!!! Let's do it!
But look... would it be nice... if there is a narrow cream strip between dark orange strips?
Oh yes, let's try it too!!!!! We'll see a modern baby quilt soon!!!
No, jopas näyttää kivalta ja mielenkiintoiselta, kun välikaitaleet ovat eri levyisiä...
... mutta, mutta...
... something is wrong now....
The upper and lower row... they are now too narrow!
Krrr! I have to use r...r.......ripper :o/ once again today...
Fortunately there is still fabric!
.....
AaaaaH, WHAT a feeling! It's finally ready -
may I show you my newest Schnibbles
GEORGE!
These blocks are called monkey wrench...
Oh NO!!! Don't say it!
HOW on earth is THIS possible!?!
The blue monkey wrench block is totally in wrong place!!!! It should be at the opposite corner of the other blue block, just like it was in the previous photo!!! KRRRR!!!
Jostain syystä tässä vaiheessa päivää päässäni alkoi soida Vicky Rostin:
"Näinkö aina meille täällä käy.... käy.... käy...... käy.........."
Enää ei jaksa, ratkoja pysyköön laatikossaan... tämä moderni luomus kelpaa minulle!
I decided that I no longer use the seam ripper... but just enjoy the work I did today;o)
Hopefully you enjoy it too;o)
I posted "George" to Sinta Renee. She and Sherri are - again - organizing
the Schnibbles parade on 1st of March.
Remember to visit at their blogs then - it's worth it!
Happy WEEKend!!!!

What a lovely quilt. All the little animals are so cute and the soft colours are wonderful.

Yes, the white strips lightens it up a lot. I always try to audition my sashing and borders before I cut them. It saves headaches, arguments with oneself and the use of Jack the ripper (seam ripper.)
Lopputulos on mutkikkaasta matkasta huolimatta, tai juuri siksi, loistava! Tykkään noista kulmakolmioista, idea on laitettava muistiin. Keskustaneliöiden kuvat eivät hyppää silmille eivätkä varasta koko showta vaan odottelevat kainosti löytämistään. Onnea paraatiin!
Lopullinen pinta näyttää hienolta. Vaaleat kaitaleet keventävät mukavasti kokonaisuutta. Kauniit värit ja siniset jakoavaimet ovat sopivasti ihan oikeilla paikoillaan.
Nerokkaasti kevensit kaitaleiden ilmettä! Ja lohdullista nähdä, että blokit muidenkin töissä joskus etsivät itse itselleen mielestään sopivimman paikan... Mitäpä muuta ilkikurisilta apinoilta voisi odottaakaan ;)
It sounds like it was frustrating, but I'm glad you worked it out. The animals are so cute and make a great baby quilt!
I love your George! It looks great to me :-) I had to redo a few things on my Schnibble this month too! I like that you said you were going to enjoy what you did today. I need to do more of that :-) Thanks for the inspiration!
Hienosti keksitty kaitaleiden kevennys tapa. Kaunis kokonaisuus ja kiva blokki!
Your George came out beautiful!
