I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before or not, but my sister and I are making a quilt for our parents for Christmas. It’s going to be a random placement of 4.5″ squares. You know, something easy and quick. We need to be finished by Christmas, and with the way we work, anything slightly complicated wouldn’t get done.
I finally finished cutting all of the squares this morning. There are 258 squares of 16 different fabrics. Some of them are probably a little wonky. I’m not so good at cutting. Not to mention that my rotary cutter has a hitch in it’s giddy-up. Oh well, I guess a little wonkiness will be okay.
I bought all of this fabric about a year and a half ago, I just never got around to making anything with it. (And I thought I had posted about it, but I can’t find it if I did.) Neta (my sister) has just started with the sewing, and I should probably be over there helping her instead of blogging.
You’re a better crafter than I. I’m still trying to finish my first sewing project ever – an apron. A super-cute retro-style apron, that happens to have six darts in the skirt and requires a thin line of trim to be sewn around it’s edges.
What the heck was I thinking when I can’t even sew a normal straight line?
Good luck with the quilt, but I somehow think you’ll finish it in time and I’m looking forward to seeing the end result!
I wish I had some sort of talent that I could use to make Christmas gifts with. I have plenty of time at work to do stuff, so it’d be perfect for me. Alas, I am talentless.
Those fabrics look nice together. You should be able to get it done in time, especially if you are just tying it or stitching in the ditch.
Good luck!
