 This quilt has been a lot of hard work as I started quilting it way back in May and when I had nearly finished I decided I wasn’t happy with it sew I unpicked it…Grrr!!! But I am happy with it now….
Firstly last night I sorted the papers for EPP SAL

    You're a busy little monkey...as always. When I read you weren't happy with
    the quilting and unpicked it, I thought how I'm like that too. This baby blanket with
    248 sts has a rows unpicked several times now because I wasn't happy. I feel your
    pain....or gain. lol By the looks of your outdoor pics, you are having the same weather as
    us. It is weird today hey?
    Cheers, Anita.

    The quilt is beautiful, I can imagine how hard it was to unpick all that stitching but I can understand that feeling when a project just doesn't sit right, it's something I couldn't live with either. Love the sneaky peak at your secret sewing.

    Beautiful quilt, when you're not happy with it, it would bug you no end.... I would have unpicked it too.

    Beautiful quilt. I feel your unpicking pain but it is better if you are not happy with it. Your EPP looks intriguing there x
