I mentioned in an earlier post during the week that I was not happy with how my QAYG was progressing. After much debating with myself it was decided that what had been quilted so far had to come undone and so it has. Fortunately I had only completed 3 rows but that took more time to do the unpicking than it did to quilt.
A start was made early yesterday and I worked on it solidly for most of the day to get the rows all sewn together as well as getting it sandwiched and some pinning done.
The plan is to get the rest pinned over the weekend. Once that is done it is on with the quilting. I only have a DSM so it will be rows across/down or crosshatching that will be done. The quilt has a wool wadding in it so it is quite heavy.
Don't forget to go over here to see more FNSI happenings.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all

Wow, it's a beautiful quilt. I love all of the bright, happy fabrics you've used. Sorry the QAYG didn't work out. I look forward to seeing your finished quilt. Enjoy the weekend :)
Well done on tackling the unsewing, never a happy thing to do, it is a beautiful quilt.
Reverse sewing always takes longer than putting it together but well worth your effort.
That’s a pity, but best to get it fixed now, before you go any further.
I love all the colours you have used.... better to spend that time unpicking and be happy with the result.... happy quilting...

Hi Karen what a bummer to have to unpick ,it’s a beautiful project and love the colours that you have used 🌹🤍🌹
Unpicking is the pits...but it will be easier to do the normal way (well in my book)
Love the quilt - so bright & cheery
Yeah, I hate the unquilting process too. It takes so much longer than putting the stitches in, but it is sometimes necessary. That will be a lovely quilt when it's finished.
So annoying having to unpick but well worth the effort in the long run. Looks lovely so far.
