Here’s what Quilt #2 looks like now. 14 more blocks completed.
I bought 4 yards of white flannel to make a design wall but it isn’t long enough. Will have to buy more. For now, I am using batting.
This batch of blocks turned out better than the first eight. I am figuring out what works best for me.
At first I was putting the strip on the bottom so I could watch what the seams were doing as I sewed over them. But when going over the “bump”, the presser foot seemed to skip a stitch. And made the seams crooked. So.. I switched and put the strip on top before sewing. Problem solved.
This will be the center.
I want this quilt to be larger than my first one, so I am thinking I will need about 30-40 more blocks. The unfinished block measures 9 1/2″.
And I still have to “quilt” my first quilt top. Going to work on it today.
LOOK AT YOU!!
Great job! I had a friend once who just would not try quilting…not interested…not for me..don’t like it..etc.
WHO woulda thunk that 2 years later she would be blogging about a quilt and loving it! LOL!
WHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It looks amazing Donna!!!
WoWzers! So pretty!
That is beautiful! I still have one to quilt and a table runner to make. Then I will get started on youngest son’s quilt.
Oh! Is this ever gorgeous!!!!
I LOVE the addition of the animal prints in this classic design. I hope you have more than one bed there, Donna! You are going to need lots of display space for your quilts – and I mean “quilts”, plural – as I KNOW these first two are only the beginning!
Of course, you can always hang them on the walls. Hubby will think he’s in a new home! lol
LOL!! I’ll hang them all over the house. He will think he is living in a museum.
Love the layout! Looks like you’re officially addicted to quilting!
Thank you, everyone, appreciate it. You guys are the best!!
Yep, I am loving it!! Addicted? Getting there!!
I am currently working on piecing 20 blocks assembly line style. I hope I don’t run out of fabric.
