Ack, it's been too long since I've posted! So much has happened in the past month, so I decided that I'm going to break it on down into a couple posts over the week, so I don't get carpel tunnel updating what's going on. First, let's chat about the quilt. The last time I wrote, I mentioned that I had finished sewing all 224 squares... still an accomplishment that I'm proud of!
I brought the squares with me to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I asked everyone that was there to sign the back of a square, so that when I sewed it together, I'd have all of my family with me.
(Pause for loving moment).
Here are all the signed squares! There are 15 total that will be inserted into the 14 columns of the quilt. Last weekend, I started said columns and so far it's going quite well! I have 6 columns of 16 squares completed so far (96 total!). I'm hoping that I can actually finish sewing the top of the quilt this weekend, which would be awesome! Once that is done, I'll have to choose a backer fabric for the quilt. That means a trip to the fabric store for me, huzzaaaah!
Here's a picture showing how thrilled I am at my progress. The quilt is starting to look real!!! I can't believe that all of these pieces of fabric I cut so long ago are forming an actual quilt. Also, it shows how many lemon squares I ate over the past month. Good thing I went to the Y today.
