I've been on a cutting spree this week, slicing through fabric like I'm the long-lost cousin of Edward Scissorhands.
You see, I got this wild idea to cut all the fabrics for the remaining 400 Bow-Tie blocks. It was quite the challenge. But where there's a will there's a way. I would sit while starching and pressing the fabrics. When I tired of sitting, I would stand and cut fabrics until the old bones said it was time to sit, starch and press more fabrics.
The plan was a success! In the coming week, I'll be stitching up a storm, piecing together the blocks and finally giving some love to the Twinkler quilt that's been untouched on the frame since our last chat.
I'm pleased that I cut all the background fabrics right at the start of this project. Now that this quilt is nearing completion as a quilt top, I need to choose a new project to begin once it's finished.
Marathon cutting sessions are hard. I spent yesterday cutting 71 sashing strips for my next project. But they are done and its so nice to just be able to sit and stitch.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moley Lea Anne, that's a lot of cutting all at once! But now you get to sit back and do the fun part, sew. I can't wait to see the finished quilt top. Carol
