Eureka!
Practice, practice and more practice and it still isn’t right. That is how I feel when facing quilts. But wait… queue the drumroll, this time when I turned my facing to the back of the quilt every single corner was square.
But how?
What did I do differently? I wish I knew. What I do know is I was very, very patient doing every step of the process methodically. When I turned the facing to the back, I paid particular attention to the edge ironing it to knife-like precision, redoing as necessary.
Now what?
The next challenge is to see if I can replicate my success with my future faced artwork. For now, I’m going to relish a moment of success.
I am linking up with Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Fridays.
I see MANY successes in this project! The message, the vision, the style, the talent-just to name a few. Brava!
Thank you, Melody.I appreciate your thumbs up.
90 degree corners! Wow! You are my inspiration. What an accomplishment. I know how hard that is.
Your quilt is amazing.
Very generous of you, Yvonne. I knew others who have fiddled with facing fiber art know achieving crisp, 90 degree corners is challenging. Hence, my excitement.
Bravo! My faced corners are often dog-eared. Your quilt is terrific all around (and squared).
Fiber art may not have quilt police, but that doesn’t stop us from judging our own work harshly. Dog-eared corners are fine if they enhance the art. However, if the goal is a piece with sharp corners, because sloppy isn’t what you going for, it sure is a joy to achieve crisp corners. Thank you, Norma, for your positive input.
