Quarantine life

Well like everyone else, the past month has been a bit of a drag. I haven’t felt like sewing or doing much of anything although I did make face masks for family until my elastic ran out. I’ve followed the quiltalongs, tried to get interested in the Elvira quilt by Gudrun. But after reading the comments  about problems and mistakes made, I figured I’d better let it go.  I did have two Quilts for Kids kits to work on, so I made both and have finished one with the second one pinned and ready to quilt. Here’s the one finished,

 

So I now figured I’d tackle the Quarantine quilt, Elvira by Gudrun. Things were going good and I gained confidence and realized what an easy quilt it was, practically made it in a day. I’m almost done sewing the rows together, and in looking closer discover I’ve sewn the blocks together WRONG!!  Oh my gosh, now I have to do a lot of ripping...and this same gal is hosting another quiltalong on Sunday May 3rd.  https://gequiltdesigns.com/blogs/ge-happenings

And here’s what it’s supposed to look like:

The trick is to get those slants going a certain way!  I’m going to work on it and if I’ve finished by may 3 I’ll maybe join in. Hope it’s not too much work to fix!
