This was one of my early-ish quilts, the pieces were EACH individually cut using a cardboard template. The nine-patches were machine pieced and the rest hand-sewn.  

After quilting  for a while, I decided it was too small and the batting too thick.  Ug.   

It was shoved in a closet for years before I had the heart to pull it out, unpick a lot of quilting, change the batting and add borders.  

Sometimes you need to forgive yourself and try again.  This is my husband's favourite quilt.
