Dogwood Blossom, Storm at Sea, Mission Completed

Well, mission was accomplished but I'm not sure I like the results.

Completed

When I was done sewing the ten rows of blocks, it didn't measure 20.5" and the end blocks were shy of what they should have been.  So I had to cut into the orange border on all sides.  Then I had to cut a bit more off two sides.  So really nothing measures out correctly.  I'm not liking how bright it is.  I feel like it's glaring at me.  I have read other people's comment when they sowed their Storm at Sea together about how bright it felt to them.  So I know I'm not alone.  Oh well, I'm not going to rip it out.  I invested too much money and time so it will remain this way and hopefully it will grow on me.

Sew long for now....Kim

    1. Elaine...mine aren't done either!!! I'm gonna do them this week end, I promise! I knew I needed to keep going or this quilt would never get finished! I can't believe today Rachael posted the last post on this project. She needs to slow down for me!
