Project to Finish :: Baby Quit from Samples


In 2018 I did a Christmas QAL over on UKQU and before the block patterns were ready to go out I had to ensure they were right.  That involved a lovely group of pattern testers who were invaluable but before the patterns even got to them I had to make samples to see which blocks I liked the most in real life.


I found three of these sample blocks last week in a bag with the accompanying fabric pieces.  I have no idea where this fabric came from but I had teamed it with Kona White and obviously had plans for a baby or child quilt.  Hmmm 3 blocks doesn't really make a quilt now does it?



I have an idea for how to finish this and actually started cutting right away!  And you see those strips at the front?  They are for the binding.  I am so proud of myself because that is usually the hurdle I fall at and so have decided to get the binding made before I have even finished the quilt in the hope that then I will attach it straight away!



Hopefully there will be good progress on this in the upcoming days ....

  1. Making the binding early helps me, too! Once it's machine-stitched on, my quilts get done rather quickly. But if I delay in making that binding, the top will sit for a while. Good for you for figuring our your hurdles and figuring out a way to get past them!
