Good Ideas

Sometimes I hate it when I get a “good” idea.  You know the ones.  They’re good in that they will improve a quilt greatly, but bad because they’ll take a lot of time or tedium to implement.

And that’s where I am now.  Only, I got my good idea AFTER the quilt was finished! 

Yep.  Signed.  Label sewn on.  Sleeve attached.  The works.

Oh, why didn’t I realize I needed to do this sooner?  So, I’m in the midst of taking apart a finished quilt, reworking it and, and putting it back together with a lot of hand stitching.

 

This sure better turn out the way I think it will!

Still, I know this won’t be the last time I find myself in such a spot.  Once I think of the right thing, I’m just not happy with the quilt until I do it.

P.S.  I can take my quilt apart because it was faced after quilting.  Small blessings.
