DWR saga part II

I managed to put three rings together and it all looked nice until I added one more ring in the second row - then the four connecting pieces didn't match up and the whole thing looked more puckered than a lemon sucking witch :-( The instruction for the pattern say that you should only sew the melons to the centers just where the purple meets the end parts of the melons (the purple multi patterned pieces).... so I did but still don't get it. The whole thing is now ripped apart and I going to start all over again, but heck if I can get them bits and pieces to add up. Grrrrrrrr.

Feel free to post instructions and great ideas ;-)

Värdelöst att behöva sprätta, men det går ju rätt snabbt när man väl slutar tjura och börjar jobba. Nästa gång blir det bättre! Och det kommer fortfarande att bli en underbar kvilt!

Nu sätter jag upp blocken på min hemmagjorda designvägg, dvs grå flanell på den enda väggbit i hela huset som går att använda. Sprättade upp ännu en gång, men det var "bara" en ring...
Svärmor gillar blått:-)

You're a better woman than I Wolfie. I have no ideas but do love the colors of the DWR

Melody, I'm not better that any woman LOL but I do think I have a knack for getting colors to "marry".
I've put every piece up on my tiny designwall, hopeful that solves the problem - to sew all the pieces together one by one.

It's beautiful. This pattern kicked me---it was the first quilt I ever tried to make and it was tough going. Your colours are just beautiful.

Maddy - you did this pattern as the very first you did? Holy cow, you are way braver than me that's for sure.
I put the rows (2 of them now) up on the "design wall" and then add more verges and still wonder how on earth it will all come together LOL.
