Journal Notes

This was a UFO received free from my local Buy Nothing group. The blocks were already completed. The blocks did not line up and all the seams were off size. There were three pieces that were in the wrong direction that I fixed and one with the raw seam on top that I reversed. Two pinwheels are in the wrong direction, but I left them as is. The smallest block was 10.5” so I trimmed them all to that size. It was hard to center the blocks due to the seams being off initially. I decided to not add sashing since all the seams were already noticeably off and not put any of my own fabric into it. I found one more block that was turned the wrong way when I put on 2” border from the leftover included fabric. Some of the secondary patterns are noticeably off as well, but if you look at it from a distance it is nice. Finished is better than perfect. It finished at 52” * 42” after a 2 1/2” border from the leftover material. Hopefully someone appreciates all the effort the original quilter put into the blocks. The quilt top was donated to the Pflugerville quilt guild in September 2025.
