| sewing letters |
And then I have to step back and see what I actually made.
I say to myself "what 3 things would I like to improve?" I do that because I know that the 'evaluation stage' can take forever and cause the project to move into the UFO closet.
So I give myself a limit to pick 3 things.
Here is the first set of letters for the word 'patience'. I made all capitals except the letter 'i' for some unknown reason, but I like it.
1) make the letter 'p' taller, 2) make the letter 'a' background narrower, and 3) fix the letter 'n' which didn't look right to me.
Once those changes were made, the next step is to figure out the length of the word needed to fit the border space. I needed to sew 2 more pinwheel star blocks and add a piece of white to each side of the word to make the border fit the size of the quilt.
I was very happy with how it was coming along, but then the letter 'G' in COURAGE was still bugging me, so I will make a tiny alteration.
Next up... flying geese blocks will be flying onto the top and bottom of the quilt!

Looking good, Kathy!! I think you really nailed it with your word choice. We've all needed a hefty dose of patience in dealing with lockdown!

Very Good Words for the times we are living!
Your courage to have a go and your patience at getting things just sew have paid off and your top is looking good.
Your lettering is just so adorable and like how you have put them together so they look like they are just "Happy" to be there.
That is a great quilt to commemorate the time in which we live.
It's amazing that while the first letters were OK, your changes greatly improved them - you have a good eye! Good job.
It looks so great and I really admire your process of tweaking and making changes!
That looks fabulous!
