It only took about ten years! In about 2003 as a beginner, Bonnie took my Harvest Song Class, a ten month heirloom quilt class, and she completed the center of the quilt with first 4 months. Then she got to this 3 dimensional block with all set-in corners---and put the quilt away. There it sat until 2013. With a little encouragement she brought the dreaded block to to the Sew-in and in just a short while had completed two perfect 6 1/2" blocks!! Only 10 more to go, and then on to the easier blocks to complete this magnificent over-sized queen quilt. Bonnie has now signed up for more Sew-ins to complete her masterpiece with a little encouragement from her friends!
I'll bet you also have some ten year quilts--the ones that left you stumped with one wicked block, or a wrong turn that left you with a bunch of ripping out to be done. I don't mind ripping! Drag them out let us cheer you on to the finish line.

This lovely stack of uneven sized blocks were causing headaches for one newer quilter until I showed her several squaring tricks, and she got them all to the same size. She is now happily on her way to The Finish Line! Treat yourself to some Finishing Time!
