This is a continuation 3 previous posts about the of the making of Spotted Graffiti.
I did go ahead and remake two of the squares before I added the outside borders. Here is what it looked like with the fixes. It is SO much better.
I needed to add some length to the borders so that they would fit after sewn into place. I also had to be a lot more diligent about the shape and width of the borders. Since they were pieced, I starched them and sewed around all of the outside edges to keep from popping seams and ending up with floppy edges. I also had to take a few tucks here and there. I have to say that it is not my favorite improv quilt, but at least I stuck with it to get it done. For sure, working with solids is a whole lot easier than with pieced fabric. It was donated to our charity group and measured 56" x 58".
