Progress....

I am making some progress on my $5.00 quilt.


I have ironed all 400+ squares.




 Sew them into 2 patches.


I am now working on 4 patches.


None of them are the same size, so instead of trimming 400+ squares I will deal with that when the blocks are much bigger. They then will be trimmed and put together for the top. This is such a fun project as there are "no rules". You see it will be a picnic quilt and those to me are "no-rule" quilts!
Remember...



Have a super day!!

    Such a fun variety of fabrics. I love no rules quilting. Patterns are great starting points but I always get off on another tangent and change things up anyways.

    Madame Samm seems to have a bit of extra energy today, huh? LOL

    Wow. So how long did it take you to iron all 400+? I can't wait to see how it turns out. Sometimes the best pieces occur when one improvises.

    I hope you have a good movie or TV show on to do all that ironing! I remember you got the pieces for a great price. It's coming along so nicely.

    The four patches look great, but the bundles are gorgeous.

    Uh...rules?...there are rules? Wow, all those little squares were each tied up individually?! And you are untying them, ironing them, sewing them...more than once...are you watching your back?...are they coming for you...the guys in the white coats...

    Can't wait to see this all done.

    I thought the same about the pan of rhubarb.... and I think Samm has way too much energy today... I see a 'Reliable' iron, do you like it.....it may have to be my next new purchase....Samm swears by it as the 'best'....but a computer may be on my 'to buy' list first. Happy stitching!!
