Geneva,
Lovin your mess!! And that quilt is looking prettier all the time.
Ritzy,
I'm from a 'northern' state, living in a 'southern' state so I definitely qualify as a Yankee, and most often I'm pretty puzzled or puzzling (that's according to my DH, but then what do guys know?). Anywho,, being your friend, if only online, I don't see what's wrong with it!! It looks just like something I would love to have, so if a few not quite perfect spots are going to be a big bother for you, the solution is simple. My address is: And I'll just wait out at the mailbox for it to arrive. Ok? Oh, now I bet you've got some other way of handling this situation. I should have spoken up sooner,,,
Really, unless you're going for getting a ribbon in a show, enjoy it! And if you enter it, call that block to the judges attention and refer to it as 'my Amish Yankee Puzzle' block. They can't kick you out for being creative!!
Enjoy
Luann
But you can send the quilt COD if you want!! LOL

Ladies--you are all too kind.
Lois--the blocks that make the larger block on the "Y" block--they are the thing driving me nuts. I can't look at the quilt without seeing them and wondering how I quilted it without noticing and ripping it out long ago.
Geneva--thank you for the embellishments but if I add to one block then I have to add to more because you can never have enough embellishments and that would be more work than fixing the block.
Luann--nice try but with all the problems I had making this half-sized quilt--it will be kept to remind me that sometimes it is worth the trouble.
Pam--you would love spending time with the boys--they love to be cuddled.
Oh--and the reason it drives me crazy is I want to be able to show it and I want to win. How's that for vanity?

Those blocks would bug me too on a quilt for showing. Not vanity at all and I don't blame you for wanting to win. Didn't you do this quilt as you go? How about making up a new block first and then if it is good to go, take out the old one and remake. You could always use the old one as a muggie
Just putting some more Minstrels in the M&m's bowl for you.

Ritzy...I would love to snuggle those babies...how very sweet!! I can understand why they bug you, I'll add a few Cadbury chocolate bars to the bowl so you can take a break and eat them while working on it :side: good luck, and let us know what you decide to do.
Geneva...love your blocks! It will be interesting to see how you end up putting them together :cheer:
I am working on another bag for my niece....took her into her first quilt shop, and she absolutely fell in love the Mondo bag, so of course I'm making it for her...she doesn't have a sewing machine :blink:hmy: or the time :silly:

Hi Ritzy -
I think your quilt is beautiful! But if the blocks bother you, you definitely need to fix them in some way. Instead of embellishment, you could think about appliques. You could scatter a few applique stars, for example, over the missed points and then scatter a few over some other parts of the quilt to make it a design decision. Since some of the letters already go behind and in front of the pieced blocks, it wouldn't look out of place to add the applique. If you have any applique in your border, those are the elements you could bring in to the fron. But you really have to do whatever will make you happy when you look at the quilt, because you will always be its greatest critic. BTW, beautiful boys!!

Geneva - I love the blocks - so colorful! Can't wait to see where you go from here with them!
Ritzy - could you applique a very narrow strip in a complementary color down the length of the block to hide the issue (but extend the strip onto the solid color at the base of the block so the eye doesn't notice it - much like you would add a ribbon embellishment? My thought is a narrow applique would not be noticed as much a single piece of embellishment would...I think it would look like an extra asymmetric boarder and I think it would look good with the overall asymmetry of the quilt...good luck. Let us know what you decide to do!

Ritzy we put so much of our precious time into making our quilts, that it's not vanity wanting to show your quilt and win. You know that you are not happy with the "Y" block, there have been some really good ideas for altering/disguising the block. However, I know that you are an accomplished needlewomen and although it would be a more difficult process to remove the original "Y" and make a replacement, it may be the best option for you to feel happy with your finished quilt.
Best Wishes Pam

I think she means some of the points are cut off but I really had to look for it.
Ritzy it is such a beautiful quilt that I would not worry about it.
Here are a few Malteasers to keep your strength up, cuddling those two beautiful boys must be so tiring....NOT!
They are adorable. Congratulations to you and your family.

Lightbulb moment! :blink: So, it's not the "Y", but the hourglass squares over the top? Yes, I see some points don't line up. I saw it on the close-up. Ritzy, don't you wish I was a judge? I'd have passed those - or do I need new glasses?
Ho hum, hubby is away for 5 days and I didn't even quilt yet today.
