Last night was the monthly Friday Night Sew In... and, while I didn't finish the quilt top, I did reach a more-reasonable goal of "almost done"...
I spread out the KF HSTs on the sewing table and sewed til 11:00pm, when I determined I was DONE for the day!
I sewed the HST into a 3x4 block and then sewed four of the larger blocks together into a row.
I completed four rows for a total of 192 HSTs. I have to sew the rows together but first, I'm going to add one vertical column to each row and, hopefully, one horizontal row (if I have enough HSTs) to make the quilt 52"x68".
It was just too complicated to do blocks with different numbers of HSTs.... so I chose this way of saving my sanity on a Friday night after a busy week.
Today, I'll be finishing the quilt top and plan to quilt this one myself.
Another successful FNSI....
Almost done is just great! I love the colours on the white.
ReplyDeleteSome wadding I ordered just arrived this morning - so with any luck I may too have an 'almost done' by tomorrow sometime!
That is looking beautiful, and it's almost finished too. Love the KF fabric paired with the solid.
ReplyDeletePerfectly lovely! You have a gift for quilting.

ReplyDelete(and to answer a previous commenter's question,
HST = Half-Square Triangle
FNSI = Friday Night Sew-In

Those KF HST's just sing in this quilt! How big is the quilt going to be? Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty almost done is good too.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of HST quilts. And KF fabrics are always soooo pretty. This'll be a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment on my FNSI and was so surprised to see that you also learned to sew and quilt the same way I have! I recently discovered Kaffe and absolutely love his fabric and textiles. Your quilt is amazing.
ReplyDeleteCheers~

How pretty you accomplished a lot more than I did Friday night. I called it a day around 10:30 PM.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your HST almost gives me the courage to try one..... I'm such a chicken!
