A week or so ago, I posted about starting my next quilt: a scrappy hourglass quilt that I saw on the cover of volume two of Sew Scrappy quilt magazine.
Notice the clothespins? I
I have also been busy going thru all the 1800's reproduction fabrics and cutting 5" squares. It takes a while to cut almost 600 squares but I'm doing a little each evening after work...
...and I'll get done eventually!
Looking good! I have both of those magazines and I spend lots of time lusting after most of the quilts!
ReplyDeleteYour progress is looking wonderful! I like your clothespin organization.
ReplyDelete600 squares wow I know you can do it Freda!
ReplyDeleteYeah you! Kathie will enjoy seeing you enjoying the creation of this awesome quilt. I know I'm excited!!!!!
ReplyDelete600 squares! That's a lot of squares! It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteI really love the quilt.
I love this quilt. I have saved the pattern, too, telling myself, "Someday."
ReplyDeleteAre you just putting in the one 9-patch? I love the randomness of it.
You will have this completed soon, I know, because you are good at focusing and not getting distracted like so many of the rest of us. : )
600! That's quite an undertaking! But who doesn't love making HST's? I know I do! It's nice to have a couple of projects going at one time, for a change of pace/scenery.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of cutting! Good idea to break it up into a few each evening. I think it will be worth the work. It is certainly a beautiful pattern.
ReplyDeleteIf you cut 60 pieces a day you would have it done in 10 days...I always make goals like that then drive myself crazy trying to keep up with them! Love this quilt though...enjoy the process...
ReplyDeleteThe clothespins ae a great idea. Love the quilt.

Hooray for you! The clothespin idea is great. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the kind of a quilt that needs those clothespins. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
ReplyDeleteDuhhh about the clothespins - OMGosh, what takes me so long to think of that great idea! Thanks! I even considered my potato chip clips, but brain didn't go far enough forward! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe clothespins (we call then "pegs") are a great idea. A little bit every day will see the project done before you know it. Mind you, it may not feel like it while you're working through it.
