Update #1: make a halloween quilt
Second large quilt, 4th ever quilt with a more challenging pattern this time to learn new sewing skills
Obstacles Faced: I think sashing and making my own binding will be challenging
Update #2: Cut all fabric, pieced star centers together
15% completeCutting fabric went smooth, I tried starching it first for the first time which is kind of a pain but made the biggest difference in cutting crisp lines. Now we’ll see if it makes a difference in matching up my points…
Challenges Overcome: Starching fabric FTW
Obstacles Faced: Still not great at sewing a perfect straight line with a 1/4 inch seam allowance
Update #3: Cut & pressed open all flying geese
25% complete64 flying geese later….
Challenges Overcome: Feel super comfortable with flying geese now; they used to really mystify me!
