It’s been some time since I’ve updated you on my quilting process. It’s moving along at snail’s pace, but I want it to turn out perfect. Here’s what’s been going on this past month in quilt land.
1. I finally decided that I wanted to make the quilt big enough to wrap myself in it and not just a baby sized one to look at. I want this quilt to be used and loved.
2. I started cutting out all the fabric squares to make the quilt. I choose to use 3″ squares which I think is pretty standard size. These squares will later be turned into a gagillion triangles. I am a little more than half way done with this part and let me tell you…get a rotary cutter, for sure. (*must have sharp blade)
3. I’ve started to determine how I want to colors to be show in the quilt. I’ve chosen to make the base of the quilt a creamy white color with all the bright colored fabric triangle in a radiating pattern. I think this will be the best was for the pattern to show with so many different fabrics. Oh! Have I told you how much I love my fabric choices!!
4. Next step is to finish up all the cutting and lay all the squares out on the floor in the chosen pattern. I’ll then collect them up in the right order and start sewing. I’m nervous for this part because I’m definitely not a frequent sewing machine user.
5. I’ll keep you updated and I hope to report more progress soon. Lindsay over at Eileen Josephine has some killer quilting skillz. Check her out!
