I did a little sewing on the charity quilt squares that I cut with the Accu-Quilt cutting system at my bee's sew-in last week. My theme fabric was the patchwork print. I also cut a few coordinating squares.
I decided to make a top similar to the ones several other members of the bee were making at our sew-in. They basically are 5-inch patches of different lengths. The ones from guild kits had white sashing strips, and also put some of the white strips in between the patches. I decided to use the white sashing between the rows only.
I have several boxes of strips left over from other projects, so it was easy to chain-piece onto the strips that I had.
I have many, many more of the the multi-colored patchwork squares, so this quilt top will be growing.
I also have a new project that I did not want...a quilt repair job. More on this later. All I can say is...
"My Grand-dog ate my Handwork!"
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!
