Quilt Update

Got one column of my quilt pieced together. And this is it. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would actually :)

So Frustrating!

I can't figure out how exactly to get my blocks to line up perfectly! I tried pining in a way I thought would get them to line up right but nope.

I think if I want to do this quilt it is gonna take a bit of ripping :(

Sewing Table

I finally got a chance to clean up the dining room table and so I took some pictures of my sewing area.

The whole table


Left overs from my current project underneath the blue box


Pieces for current project in the shoebox with the ruler on top


I also cut Alex's hair last night and think he looks more grown up now than he did before!

Quilt

I don't really know what to put for my title LOL.

I pinned the first row of my quilt together last night. The first piece that I tried ended up a bit off. But I tried to line up the middle of the square with the seam on the strips and the only piece I did ended up really well. It's like a smidgen off, not like the first one I did! LOL.

And then while I was sewing it, Alex was standing by my side with a big grin and "yelling" at me. He kept getting excited when I'd start to sew on that piece LOL

Quilt Squares

Took a picture of each of my quilt squares. I pinned the first row together. I did a test sew because it is hard to tell where you have to line the stripes and squares up in order to get the seams to line up just right.





How to Quilt This?

I was thinking of just going up and down the rows. Another idea I'd had was to quilt the "towers" but that seems like it would be tons of quilting.

Quilt Pieces All Done!

Got all the individual pieces sewn together and ironed! Now to work on getting the rows together! I found a perfect square earlier while I was doing my ironing. Just have to scan it.

All the edges go together just right and it's like a perfect square. Some of my other pieces look like I need to trim a little bit here and there but not this square!

Update on Quilt!

I finally have everything sewn together for this quilt. I have the squares done and the strips done. I just need to sew everything into rows now!

Trip to the Country Quilt


I looked back in my posts and didn't find a picture of the trip to the country quilt completely finished! So I went outside and took a picture and here it is!

Sick

The whole family is sick. Eric, Alex and I. I worked on my quilt some earlier today. Not very many squares, just all the ones of one color. But it's slowly getting worked on! I want to do another one that I saw on somebody elses blog but I want to make it bigger than crib size I think. And I don't know how to enlarge it LOL
