Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking when I chose to make it. I'll have to lay it out again, this time with a border, after things calm down here. I'm sure there's something to love about it....

I go back and forth about this quilt but for now I've had to pick it up because grandchildren will be visiting. At least I photographed the last layout so I can put the blocks the same way again. I keep trying to convince myself that it's an okay quilt but I haven't truly managed that yet. We'll see....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-80874329262376221812016-07-15T00:03:37.160-04:002016-07-15T00:03:37.160-04:00I guess I have to train my vacuum a little better,...I guess I have to train my vacuum a little better, Vic, though this was the very first time it's eaten a block!<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts about the layout of the Buckeye Beauty blocks. I think I'm about done with these Buckeye Beauty blocks. I've had to pick them up once again so they're on hold for a few weeks, or more. When I lay them out again I'll try the barnraising.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

I'll play some more before deciding.

What next!" I had to chuckle even while I was hoping there was no damage to the vacuum. It seems to be working fine now.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts about the Buckeye Beauty blocks. Maybe a border will help but somehow this quilt just isn't working for me, especially in person. I might just scrap it and make little Isaac a completely different quilt. I'm not sure why choosing a quilt for him is so hard. I'm thinking he needs plaids.... Thank goodness we have a few more months before it's cool enough to need a quilt.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

Nice range of colors in your blocks, and I agree that I'd try Allison's suggestion to see what a Barnraising setting can do for you.Vic in NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552281371631960555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-758163055851222892016-07-12T12:55:42.036-04:002016-07-12T12:55:42.036-04:00You are right, we can't see all our quilts as ...You are right, we can't see all our quilts as stunners but they can be used and loved because they become associated with the people and places where they are used.

It just sounded like a new take on the old "My dog ate my homework" statement. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
