BethDurand 350 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I didn't think it looked all that bad when I checked it in. Guess I'll need to look a little more carefully. Colleen picked it up at an antique mall for $20. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BethDurand 350 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 The safety pin marks where the seam has popped open and I'm supposed to catch it when I quilt it in the above photo. Here it is completed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
