After the quilt maker and I decided on a motif, I laid the 3 layers out on top of each other to ensure I load the right sides and not end up with a backing shorter than the top. Before taking the top to the machine, I decided to quickly count the blocks across and down. It was 9 blocks across and 9 rows down as I used the sides to count.
After
loading all three layers onto the frame, I started quilting and thought it would be a quick job. Before
long, I was done with row 3, which, at that stage in my confused mathematical
frame of mind, was a third of the quilt done.
Not far to go.
I quilted,
advanced, quilted, advanced, and when I got to row 9, I still had almost three-quarters of the quilt on the roll, still to quilt. That’s when it hit me, these blocks were on
point. In between each of the 9 block
rows, there were still 8 additional rows with 8 blocks each. Talk about a
disappointment!
Finally
done, I could return it to the quilt maker.
