Yep
I've named the crib quilt...or rather it has named itself...I don't do the
quilt naming thing well and there is generally no sentiment attached, as
evidenced by quilt tops being known by monikers such as The Quilt Whose Name I
Don't Remember, The Never Ending Wagga, The Red Quilt...but this one
is...Wretched. Wretched it is and wretched it makes me feel...it is so
not getting its outer pieced border...even with the borders on it isn't
stable...the fabric seems to just give and stretch in every direction, it's like it has no grain and is 360 degrees of bias...might has well have
made it out of jersey...the horror of the prospect of trying to deal with the
outer pieced border is just beyond my endurance so I've made an executive
decision to piff it...call it a design modification...it so isn't flat, it so isn't square and I so don't give a rats...after all it's for a
technique workshop, a square of calico would have served the purpose...which if I'd
thought of a square of calico earlier I would have cut one out and drew on the
patchwork design! But on the plus side it is the perfect size for my little camping table and I do so like the colour/fabric combination, just not the fabric behaviour.
Happy Stitching...

what a shame Annette as it looks fantastic.xx
It looks fabulous. I'm sorry you cant bend it to your will.
If you put it in the naughty corner for a while do you think it might be shamed into submission?
Looks lovely to me, we'll sit up the back and no-one will notice our misbehaving tops!
It looks great to me. I am glad however that someone else names their quilts like me.....most of mine have secret names known only to me. LOL.
what a pity.. .must be a male quilt top... just doesn't do what it is told... but I'm glad it will find a use... as it is very pretty

Lol! Wretched! I love it! Sad to say that most quilters would know and understand this quilt name! I love that you started this quilt. I just would have gone with the calico.
poor wretched! Unloved and maligned...
At least it will be of use when it is finished and then you may love it a little more.
It sure looks pretty from here, but I think most of us have quilts that we could borrow your name for! Glad it will have it spot however!
It should at least fulfill its intended purpose. (and have good company if Kerry is to be believed!)
Enjoy your 'sew' break.
Just look at the bright side. Next time you're camping you'll have the best looking table there!
