Welcome to March!

It sure is better than the last couple days of February!  Working away on the Queen,  I finished quilting the tail fluke. I was using Lava "Sunset" thread..it's a vareigated orange/yellow/red.  Same colors as the tail fluke, yet something about it was bugging me the whole time I was quilting.  I should know by now, that I need to heed those feelings.  When I stepped back to look at the finished tail, I knew instantly, all that stitching had to come out...the red in the thread stuck out like a sore thumb.

Of course, it always takes much more time to take out than it does to stitch it.  But I finally got it all ripped out and re- stitched...this time in  matching orange thread.



Much better!   Hopefully, there will be no more ripping!!

    Oh no!!! So sorry to hear about your un-sewing session. I had one of those recently myself. N.O. F.U.N.!

    You are so right about listening to that voice in your head. I have learnt that the hard way too.

    Ripping out is a pain - but in the end it is so worth the pain - otherwise it will bother you for ever. Love the quilting, wish I could see it in person!

    It is beautiful, Deb. Yes, you do have to listen to those little voices. I find that too. Ripping is not our favorite thing either but in the end you will be happier. I know you are! Great work!!
