I painfully, well not really painful... it was more visually delightful, cut into my Amy Schimler fabric. I'm finally starting one of the quilts for the boys room that I mentioned a few months back. After much deliberation over the whirlygiggle or the zig zag, the J-man decided on some zig for his zag and the timing couldn't have been better. Amy is hosting a quilt along over at the oldredbarn on flickr complete with lots of pics and instructions to help me along my way, strength in numbers right?
This quilt will be a twin size so I had to make some adjustments to the
instructions but nothing too strenuous. I want more zig zags so
instead of the 9" blocks, I cut 5" blocks and doubled my amount.
Hence the 352. That's a whole lot of piecing folks and I can still say
that smiling :)
wow!!! is a big bunch of squares!! love those fabrics! i think looks great in a boys room!
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling~ this is going to be great!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lovely stack! I found your blog via Craft and I'm really enjoying it. Your Don't Get Out of Bed pants are wonderful-I'd love to link to them if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteLike Rachael I made my way here from Craft and your Don't Get Out of Bed Pants. What a super duper quilt that is going to be for your son!!!! Looks like you did some nice cutting. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI don't mind if you link to the pants at all! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the tutorial.
Wow, you know you're insane, right ;) Anywho, Did you listen to anything in particular while cutting those squares?
ReplyDeleteThe boys room has a nature theme going on so the prints will go perfectly. I can wait to get more done on this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica :) :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteWelcome here and thanks for stopping by. The cutting is always the hardest part for me...labor intensive.
Simone,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know...insane but happy :)
Actually I was watching, more like listening, to the JFK movie...you know the Oliver Stone one.
