When I was at Palmetto last September they announced a fund raiser for this year's Tat Days. Georgia is IC (In Charge) of this and I (foolishly!) picked a square out to do.
Why foolishly? Well because I'd never ever decorated a quilt square before. There I was thinking this would take just a day or two in the long winter months and would be easy.
Oh no it wasn't - easy, that is. AND it took a lot longer than a few days even with the help of brain cell number 3!!!!
I finally got it done although I'm not sure it couldn't have had more work and time spent on it but in the end I told myself it was finished and I mailed it to Georgia a few weeks ago. I do hope it's OK.
The top picture shows the 'before' and underneath is the mess I made of it.
Jane, I think the CQ square looks terrific! You're an inspiration to get mine done. I've barely begun, i.e. early idea stage, nothing tangible yet. It's a cool platform for tatting, I think. The whole quilt will be beyond awesome.

I can see the lovely leaves... and hearts and butterflies - it looks just perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt square looks really good Jane~ I like all the bits of tatting you used especially the leaves!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great. The quilt will be great.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Jane,
ReplyDeleteLove the tatted beaded laeves. I am just starting mine. Wish me luck!
Who ever gets this quilt will have SUCH a treasure! I think your square is splendid!
ReplyDeleteI think it's faboo! I have a square that's very similar. I'm hoping to get it finished this weekend. I'll share my disaster with you when done. Heh.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
What mess where? All I can see is a gorgeous QC block. I have a few that I started ages ago. And yours has inspired me to finish them.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you - this is not easy! I have been steadily working on my block for the past 6 weeks and my pile of rejects is larger than the pile of acceptable motifs for the quilt block. I think your block looks terrific. I can only hope mine turns out half as well.
Cool 'mess', Jane.
ReplyDeleteThe block I am working on has me in agony.
ReplyDeleteBut after seeing yours, I am inspired to reach higher.
Thank you for posting yours!
Hugs, Hegla
P.S. Ken says "Hi".

A fine mess, indeed! So much inspiration here - I would love to try adding some tatting to my quilts.
