Lets Sew Quilt Along Layout

I am happy to say that I have all 13 blocks from the Lets Sew Quilt Along sewn together!

Before the deadline of September 23rd!

My version is 65″ x 67″…a pretty good size…not so much a wall hanging.  I’ve taken an indoor photo so you can get an idea of how big it is.

I made a big cutting error when I cut more of the black and white tiles. I cut them bigger than the size that I had planned for.

I was in a hurry.  I am absolutely sure that had nothing to do with the error!

I imagined Tim Gunn looking over my shoulder.

Keep calm and carry on.

Make it work.

I think I might need lime around the outside.  I may be making one more border.  But that is not happening anytime soon.

I have a week off from work, and I am so looking forward to taking a trip!

Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful. – Jim Carrey

“But flowers feed our soul in a different way. They remind us of a God who creates beautiful things and takes notice of the tiniest detail”
― Tricia Goyer, A Christmas Gift for Rose

 

“Buying flowers is not just a way to bring home beauty. It’s an expression of confidence that better days are coming. It’s a defiant finger in the face of those naysayers who would have you believe your fortunes will never improve.”
― Pearl Cleage, Some Things I Never Thought I’d Do
