I've really surprised myself by getting this all cut and pieced in a couple of days! I did get the kids involved and they counted how many squares or triangles I had cut out in each colour. Really made more of a mess than anything - but it kept them occupied so I could sew!! I may have learnt a lesson about ironing the fabrics FIRST before I cut them. The pink and white spot for the stitchery section isn't so straight but I didn't notice it until I actually ironed it when it was sewn. OOPS! It's okay, I'm sure I can even it up later if need be. I was going to trace it straight away - but I think I'll leave it until I have my threads so it's not sitting there - the soluble pen I use tends to fade a little when it just sits there.
I can actually see progress!!
How are you going with yours? I know there's a few people waiting for fabric or threads as well.
Congratulations!! Well done!! Looks great! Really can't notice the dots not being straight - honest!

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.... It's sad just seeing it sitting there... !! Can't wait to get into the stitching. But in the mean time I do have a lap quilt I can border and start to hand quilt! It's all good!
