A Finish


This one is all done including the hanging sleeve. I am quite happy with it. Now I hope to finish the beaded one that I posted about yesterday. It's raining so no outdoor activities will distract me.

All Together Now


Not a song. A fact.
Sometimes you just have to say it's done and start sewing it all together. I quite like it now but have no idea how I'm going to quilt it. Since it has uneven edges I'll probably do it on my DSM (Domestic Sewing Machine). It's about 40x46 so it won't be too much of a challenge.
But how to quilt it???

Which Way is Up??




















Flipping it makes quite a difference. It still needs an extra white block though.

Putting It All Together


I have started to assemble the blocks that I have made so far. It's very interesting because none of them are square. I could have trimmed them to be all the same size and square but I'm hoping this will be a bit more interesting.It's certainly more challenging! The second and third rows down from the top are mostly put together. Right now I'm wondering if it looks balanced or heavy on the left side. I'll probably put some kind of plain (ish) border around it and then see if it looks finished or if it needs something else.

How Many Do I Need?

I made a few more blocks for this quilt this morning. They are all about 6 inches not square. I'm wondering where to take this. Should I make lots more and end up with a quilt or stop now at a large wall hanging? Or is it a table topper? This is one problem with winging it. You never know when to stop.
