A group quilt project, meaning block sizes will not be consistent.
A difficult pattern--odd shapes, biased edges.
The Goal:
Put all the blocks together to make the top.
This was definitely a stretching project for my whole quilting group. The blocks themselves were not only difficult, but the pattern was created where the blocks joined each other so all the pieces had to go together just so. The first step was sewing strips together, and, as with any group quilt, there is going to be various seam widths, creating different sized units. My job was to mark the stripped units for cutting the actual pattern pieces which were kite-shaped. I then supervised the placing of the pieces for the blocks so the pattern would come together. Once the blocks and edge units were made, I volunteered to put the top together. Could I make it happen?
I named this project Match Point--both in the sense of a game as well as trying to actually get the points to match. It was definitely back and forth, but for the most part it went together pretty well.
A miss
A hit.
Success.
