I have a last minute baby quilt that I have to get done, so I set aside everything and got busy. I only have the quilting left to do so hopefully that will get done this week. Then I have to bust out my Dear Jane blocks for next week. Guess that will make for a very busy week for me. Glad I only work 2 days this week.
I forgot to take a picture while it was on the design wall so here is the finished top.
A close up. I used three Riley Blake charm packs, although I don't remember the name.
I was supposed to draw a line on the back of 168 squares but that is just way to much for me. I find it easier to draw a line with a sharpie from the needle down to the end of my acrylic table. That way when I sew I just line up the corners diagonally with the drawn line and sew. The sharpie line fades away after while and if I need it again I just remark it. So much easier than drawing on the back of all those squares.
Well, hopefully life is back to normal and I can get back into a routine of blogging and sewing. Especially since I am almost done with Dear Jane.
For more DW head on over to Judy's. I just love all of the eye candy that shows up there.
Have a great week everyone.

Wish I could be at DJ class! Have been knitting some. Did you join "Camp Loopy" at Loopy Ewe? All of us gals and a few grandsons did. I've got my yarn and my pattern already. Tell everyone HEY! Momma B
ReplyDeleteI did for the first time. I will show my Camp Loopy later this week. We miss you tons. Hope you get better soon.
DeleteYou should do Camp Loopy again!
DeleteI really miss you all too! First post op appointment tomorrow! Love Momma B
Nice to see you from the Blogosphere. I like the flippy corners, I fold my squares in half and press a crease to follow. Have fun with your extra time this week.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about folding the squares. Might have to keep that in mind for the next time.
DeleteI just finished making 168 HSTs with the line drawing method - your alternative is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteCute little quilt. One of my favorite designs to make too :)
