I have been handquilting and coming along nicely, thank you. You can see it better in the back.
I have been cutting and sorting my stash. Different picture, less stash to sort...
Main thing:
Yesterday I laid out the 16 uneven blocks on the den floor from my quilt along and took a picture of it so that I will remember where each block goes. I then moved a couple of blocks around and will be taking another picture momentarily. I am procrastinating putting the sashing on and making the quilt top. I know that the corners will be as far away from each other as New York is to Los Angeles, with a few a little closer in Kansas City. I have decided not to use corner squares. The wonkiness will be emphasized enough. Don't get me wrong, I loved learning how to cut and shape the different squares. Learn is the operative verb here.
The reason for the wonkiness is that during, not before, I started making the squares, I read Amy's tutorial on how to fix your machine's needle placement so that you can stand a chance of making consistant 1/4" seams. The blocks I made before reading are smaller than the ones I made after. I am not remaking them because I am (1) too lazy, (2) not enough of the same material, (3) anxious to make the top, or (4) too lazy.
I debated on cutting down the larger blocks, but do not have the
(PS) Those white tags on the different blocks? They tell me the size of the block so that I can play with the placement. Maybe that will help, who knows????
