They are NOT perfect. There are some wonky bits. I think that it gives them character! :)
I continued to group my cut pieces together for each block. I like how this organizes all the bits and I am not constantly looking for pieces.

| For the left-facing babies |
The Good
I feel that, overall, my piecing was much better with these little guys.
 |
| They look good from a distance, don't they? |
 |
| A little closer... |
 |
| This seam makes me happy! |
The Bad
I'm not a perfect piecer and that is okay. I ended up with some pieced sections that looked a little curved...weird!
 |
| A little wonky in places |
The Ugly
Sometimes, my seams are waaaay off. I'm not really sure why. Possible reasons: inaccurate cutting, fatique (just go to bed, already!), sewing on a diagonal (I don't seem to do this well), and , of course, a combination of all three!

| Yikes!! |
Anyway, Mamas and babies are done. Moving on to the frog, turtle and birds. I think I can get these done for next week. Then I'll be almost caught up! YAY, me!

More to come,
Lovely parade of elephants! I'm pretty sure there's wonky elephants in real life too so I wouldn't worry about it ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely elephants. I love some wonkyness, that gives life to the quilt. Be proud. And I bet you can't see the wonkyness on my elephants and animals, but they're still there.
ReplyDeleteYour babies certainly do have character. Just like us! They look beautiful, too! You made it through the hard part. There are so many babies! So glad you are quilting along, Jen!
