I groaned a bit when #10 fell out of the spinning container.
But - a challenge is a challenge - I put these things on the list to make me do them.
The last section of My Small World is done:
but patterns are just a guide,.,,, right??
And the top is together
There are a few bits that I could have done a lot better. . . but when viewing it from 3 yards . . .it's perfectly fine. (Just last month I repeated "Finished is better than perfect" to a fellow blogger.)

It is a challenging project - well for my skill set anyway.
And I still don't like how Jen Kingwell writes her patterns. I was very fortunate - back in 2019 to be able to get a set of foundation paper pieced patterns for this..They were a great guide to the sizes.
And a new facebook group has started for those making the quilt now and it seems they will also have some additional guidance/patterns.
Not sure about the quilting plan yet.....probably next year...too much happening this year!!

I have this pattern and wanted to make it for a while. Fingers crossed for me then.
It's beautiful and the hot air balloon is just the right touch. I, too, have had to adjust my challenge numbers and have now decided all of the rest will be the work on the Baltimore Album for my grand daughter so I get it finished by next June. The word of the day is "Focus!"
Congratulations! This is an amazing quilt and I love that you added elements to make it your own. Yes, I am a true believer in "finished is better than perfect."
That quilt is amazing! It does look complicated but oh so beautiful! Congrats on such a huge project.
Congratulations on finishing My Small World….love how you added the hot air balloon.
It's beautiful and I love the balloon! Bet it feels good to have it done. xx
It is a good feeling to bring a longtime project to the finish line. Love the hot air balloon.
I love love your version, and I loved making mine. Once I got used to how her patterns are written and remember to add the sewing seam I found it easy enough.... YOur balloon is a perfect addition...

well done getting that much done.........
Wow, beautiful. What an amazing quilt. You clearly overcame your challenges and created a lovely completed top.
It is a work of art! The balloon is perfect and adds interest! Great finish!
That’s a lot of work and it looks amazing.
Good on your for sticking with the challenge numbers. It must feel so good to finally have the top completed. You did well to struggle through without further assistance. The balloon is the perfect finishing touch.
