This Is My Worst Quilt Ever!

I wanted to make a quick and easy orphan block quilt. What I ended up making was my worst quilt ever!

I made loads of quilting mistakes and learned some good quilting lessons – including when to stop!

Quilting Mistakes – what went wrong?

[{"selector":"#anim-8f0d97aa-fe41-4c83-8203-50128a22dfcf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ddb6843-20de-4637-9226-0ee16c44d5d6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] It all started as an idea for a ‘quick and easy’ orphan block quilt using some different-sized quilt blocks and a stack of my husband’s old jeans.

Mistake #1: Overthinking!

[{"selector":"#anim-8037ac62-d599-4af3-a70f-a6b1d5ac5792","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a28a5af-a27f-43e8-8095-ddbe1fb09ba9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] I had sections pieced together and when I laid them out together I didn’t like how it looked – so I got out my seam ripper and started unpicking seams!

My second quilting mistake for this quilt was that I didn’t spend enough time basting my quilt sandwich.

[{"selector":"#anim-c2bb6075-bcbc-49ee-a5b0-8036886dbdab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a2b47eb-bcb6-4eaf-8d68-ccc0503c0ac5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

I basically thought that if I did enough of this random quilting pattern over the entire quilt it might start to look intentional…it didn’t.
