Please don't hate me - we have had two most beautiful 60-70 degree weather days....it's raining today, but that's giving me a chance to sit and sew a bit on this latest quilt endeavor.
I found this quilt pattern in a book at our public library and thought I would give it a try. Decided early on that 2" blocks were just a tad small for me so I increased the size to 3"! Wow, did that really make a difference?!? I cut strips at 2" wide so I can trim and square up as I sew.
I've made progress...First cut the 3 1/2" solid squares and positioned them on the design wall and am now making the 9-patch blocks. I'm only sewing a few of them at a time so the color combinations can be auditioned to get a good mix.....and the rain continues....and I'll continue to sit and sew.

This is going to be gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAmish quilts are so beautiful! While you are quilting in the rain, we'll be quilting in the snow :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, I do hate you. We woke up to an inch of ice here. Aw, just kidding, I don't hate you! It's the weather I hate. Anyway, swell quilt, looking forward to seeing the progress.
