To count to 30 is not an easy feat!

Apparently I hadn't prepped all 30 patches for my Easter hols and completely forgot that there were more than 20. Which I'd already ironed, folded, pinned etc. All of a sudden, when looking at my layout, I found out that there were another ten. Oh well ...

I think I also need to rework the design a little to accommodate for seams, something that escaped me earlier. Which makes fusing sound like a much more practical choice. But it's a lap quilt to be used frequently - or so I hope. So sewing it is. Plus what else am I to do in the evenings with hubby being away MON-FRI?

Mighty pleased!

My appliqué is coming along nicely, I've got 8 of 20 complete already. I'm really very pleased with my progress, especially considering that when I first did appliqué in class, I hated it. In fact, we all hated it, the group had never been that belligerent about their little project as when we did our fl*ming turkey tracks (that have since become a UFO).

Labelling?

Now that I've finished my baby quilt (including the mandatory bragging ;-), I'm wondering how to label it. I know what needs to go onto the label but I don't really want to hand-embroider it. I guess I'm looking for a lazy and faster, neater way to do it.

Any ideas?
Anyone?

One down, 19 to go

... and granted: it's crooked too. But I can always correct that during assembly.



And this will be the lay-out of the end result, hopefully, with the quilting pattern still to be selected.

A Cultural Creative is what I supposedly am ...

Finished!

It's finished ... yay, about nine hours before Birthday Girl woke up!









It's only taken me five months, I'm rather pleased ... I had counted on this being finished in something like five years, hah!

Melody says: Art Quilts for beginners

I really like her view of things and can recommend this for lecture:
I've never made an art quilt, but have made several quilts. Will this be a daunting task for a beginner at art quilts?
