This week's assignment was to cut all of the fabric for our quilt. Wow! That's the first time I've cut everything in preparation for a quilt. I'm making a 60" x 70" quilt so I had a "few" cuts to make. It probably took me an hour and a half with a few interruptions. I think using pre-cuts (like Charm packs or Layer Cakes), tends to make us lazy. I'm not sure I dislike lazy :)
I'm making this quilt for my daughter so she selected the fabric. She chose pink and grey with sashing of blue and a white background. I think she did a good job. I think it'll all go really well together.
There's still time to join in the fun if you're interested. There are prizes for the weekly "assignments" (like this week is a $15 gift certificate for Green Fairy Quilts which is one of my favorite places to get pre-cuts). Just head over to Happy Quilting to get all of the details!
Great job getting all of your cutting done Jenny ;) I think you are going to find how awesome it is to have everything cut before you start sewing :) I love the fabrics your daughter choose, just beautiful ;) So glad to have you along ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics your daughter picked. Took me a couple hours to get them all cut.
