I think you did a nice job.<br /><br />Maybe you could give a comfort quilt instead of throwing them away.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945911444997924849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-87664913651485903992011-11-28T21:28:59.625-05:002011-11-28T21:28:59.625-05:00Your first blocks are beautifully done. the color...Your first blocks are beautifully done. the color, not so much. But these were very fashionable colors at one time. Can't you either make a charity quilt with them, or donate them to someone who will? Not volunteering, by the way. :)Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-4766763374062568632011-11-27T11:37:25.393-05:002011-11-27T11:37:25.393-05:00Isn't it lovely to think how many students you...Isn't it lovely to think how many students you have taught quilting to the "right way". I too learned 'by hand', but in San Diego 35 years ago. The best thing the teacher taught was to make bias binding. We used paper towels and folded it up and cut it. I still have my sample. I love teaching when you see your students w that 'aha! moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-59341705973899225752011-11-27T08:48:44.713-05:002011-11-27T08:48:44.713-05:00I don't think your blocks were ugly, I was qui...I don't think your blocks were ugly, I was quite impressed.<br /><br />Well...a worn out quilt means it received a lot of love..Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-2924671880330255012011-11-27T08:19:15.926-05:002011-11-27T08:19:15.926-05:00Melinda, remember what Bonnie Hunter said when she...Melinda, remember what Bonnie Hunter said when she spoke to our Guild; "If the fabric is still ugly, you just have not cut it small enough yet". There are some really lovely colors in those greens and pinks so long as you don't have to look at too much of it at one time!Mickieraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980857751711764346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-7259483591703583722011-11-27T00:30:57.520-05:002011-11-27T00:30:57.520-05:00What a great story!
