This is a follow up to the post What’s on the Design Wall: Update on Tango Stripe, as well as the endless other posts over the past couple years about an UFO (Unfinished Object) known as Tango Stripe.
I made it through the endless Y-seams:
And finally got to the point that I could layout the blocks!
Yes it looks like a “hot mess” but I think it is going to be a cool quilt.
Here are the some of the denim setting triangles patiently waiting to be added:
And here is the quilt with all the block in place (not neatly in place but in place) – I will likely move some blocks around before I slowly get it all sewn together:
Next time I update you all on this piece, it will be when it is all sewn together (and not look like such a “hot mess”)!
Are Y-seams difficult or just tedious?
Lovely quilt.

They are emotionally draining..um..I mean – they require focus but are exciting and challenging, ha! Thanks 🙂

Got it! Y-seams will remain on my Maybe Someday When I am Emotionally Stable List of Things to Try. 😉

You can take on anything, I am sure you would ace Y-seams 🙂

The denim really adds character to this quilt and I agree with you, it’s going to be a cool quilt! Will you be keeping it? It looks like a good couch quilt for a gray winter day!

It does! I wish once it is assembled it would magically be totally completed and I could enjoy it as a quilt 🙂

The best stage (apart from finished) is the playing around with placement of finished blocks. Enjoy!

You are right and I was laughing this morning as there are blocks missing from the layout that fell on the floor in the middle of the night. Now I have to figure out where the heck I originally placed them – ha! So this is an incentive to start working as soon as I can on getting it all sewn together 🙂

Thanks so much! I have to say this daily posting is making me feel more accountable (in mind, not that people actually care, ha!) to finish projects so I can post about them 🙂

Hot mess? No way! I think it’s shaping up nicely… The colours are amazing, and the denim background sets them off beautifully! Can’t wait to see more 😁

Oh yes! It is definitely a cool piece. Looking forward to the next update. You have inspired me to take out my little stash of Fassett striped fabrics.
