I started a new project this week. I was given the pattern by a friend although now rethinking that. After doing the first step there was a bit of confusion but I got it done. Onto the second step and again a little confusion...oh look the coloured diagram is incorrectly coloured...hmmm! I also have lots of leftover pieces...so stop! I sat down one evening and worked the math. I have never seen a published pattern with so many errors. Texted my friend and said we need to revisit using this pattern at guild. But once I figured out things it is going together fairly well. I am working with strips measuring 1,1.5,2 and the largest being 2.5". So some of the pieces finish at 1/2" but they look so good! I will only show sneak peek of blocks, so I can keep the pattern a secret for now!! I am using a grey background and a batik jelly roll to make the quilt. I had two jelly rolls and I think I may only need one...bonus!The block on the left finishes at 4.5" and the other one finishes at 8".
I have my blue quilt pin basted and plan to work on it today getting it machine quilted and put the binding on it. I even used up a chunk of fabric and a couple fat quarters for the backing. I love making scrappy backings even if they are a bit of work. This quilt also has batting pieces that were sewn together. It truly is scrappy through and through!!haha
The week goes by so fast and here we are at Sunday again.
Slow stitching day with Kathy. She is very much into cross stitch and makes me want to do a long forgotten UFO of cross stitch that I have packed away. Maybe one day!!
Enjoy your week
Oh wow, those are tiny pieces. Looks great
