My ice cream soda quilt is demanding all my time at present. I have shirts I want to make, gardens that need working on, and housework that should be done. But you see, I have reached an exciting stage of this quilt, I have attached all the joining pieces and am now actually joining the blossoms.
I laid out all the blossoms, shuffled some around, then shuffled more around until I was happy with colour placement. Each row was labeled, so hopefully they all get sewn in the right order now.
I have two rows made and am attempting to join these now. Boy, is this a fiddly twisty thing to do. Hopefully I work out a better way of doing this for the remaining rows.
Once it is all joined, and borders have been added, I have plans to send it to my friend Leeanne for either basting, so I can hand quilt it or quilting if I cant be bothered.
Lets see how long it take me to get to that point though.
it really is going to be beautiful when finished.....and just think your housework will still be there!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking amazing! A lot of work, so worth it. You'll love it when it's finished - actually we all will!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks fabulous. I love doing EPP and making all of the individual blocks but it really can be a pain when it is time to jino them all together. x
ReplyDeleteLooking good Julie Lou. So much fun putting them altogether!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are absolutely gorgeous! Great use of fabrics.:)
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great Julie! I'm finding the same twisting and turning with my Quattro Colour blocks, but find it easier now that I've started taking out the papers , giving a bit more flexibility. Do you use a wonder clip to hold bits together? They are like having an extra hand to keep things straight!
ReplyDeleteDelicious!!! What a time consuming job you have on hand but the result will be well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along beautifully. Looks simply stunning 👏👏
