I made enough ribbons to cover the 80" width – knowing I'll lose some to seam allowances – so the 72" width was achievable. Tried to include them all but ribbons conflicted. Too many bosses and not enough support staff. See this posting.
Finally, I let go of the 6' width and pared the ribbons down. Keep it simple: just vertical ribbons. See this posting.
But one ribbon nagged. "Un-ribbon me!" Undid it and rearrange them all. Here's how it looked this morning:
I get stuck on an idea and beat it to death even though it does not come together. Much later, I realize my self-imposed idea is just that – self-imposed and not a requirement. That's the way it has been with this ribbon quilt. It's lurching on as one idea gives way to another.
I like the new direction. And I haven't given up on my self-imposed deadline to sew this together to show at the workshop. Only one week left.
