Good Morning Quilters!
Happy February to you. My Cousin’s Walk borders are getting finished. I am nearing the end, and try to appliqué one flower each day. Here’s todays picture: on left, the last two borders as they are now, and on the right, a picture of the same two borders from two weeks ago. I am getting excited that the end is getting near!
The diamonds quilt on the design wall is coming along too. I added the edge parts, and have about ten long strips of blocks sewn together, and also have a little bit in the top left that have the strips sewn together. It involves thinking as I sew because the triangles all have bias edges, and when sewing them together, I have to offset the edges a little to line the seams up correctly. It’s a job where I keep Mr. Seamripper handy when I first begin a session, but after I get sewing for a while, I use him less. Here’s the design wall, in three pictures:
(1) The top left corner is all sewn together (except for the one little corner bit)
(2) The next set of blocks are now sewn into six long diagonal strips:
(3) And the rest is a mix of some blocks sewn to their neighbors, and some blocks that are not sewn to anything.
It is turning out to be fitting together like a giant puzzle, and I am liking it. What are you playing with on your design wall this week? It doesn’t have to be on a design wall, but we like to see what progress you are making.
