Yesterday I worked in the sewing room for the first time in 3 weeks and boy did it feel good. Got my November block done for Long Distance Quilting Bee for Evelyn, yes I know its not even November. I made a promise to myself that I would not fall behind again!
Since the following blocks are for me, made from instruction provided on BOM I got a late start, and I am following an idea from another member, I am making 2 blocks of each. I think, haven't quite decided yet but I am leaning towards "quilt as you go".
I really love these prints, it looks a little busy but since it for my quilt I like it! If I quilt as I go, I am going to use a different backing for each block, no two alike. I will also hand quilt with different color threads to give each block its own personality.
Ok, with that said......................
So glad that you are back it. I know how happy it makes you. BIRDS!!
ReplyDeleteOk I was thinking about trying the quilt as you go... I am a NEW quilter! Do you put something in the sashing strips that go in between?? I have not been able to figure this part out and was thinking about trying it!
