I am well
started on Erica’s commissioned quilt. It’s
such a pretty quilt based on one she happened to see in my Etsy shop some time
ago. She asked me if I could make one in
queen size as a wedding quilt for her upcoming nuptials. Of course, I agreed and we set to work. 
She chose
the majority of fabrics, but I added a few that I picked up in Houston that
have a modern edge to them. I love the
mix of hot pink and touches of lime green and red.
Don’t they
play well together? Could they be even a
smidge more girly? If so, I don’t know
how.
On Saturday
I got busy and started cutting squares.
One small package arrived already cut into four inch squares, but that
was too small, so I stitched them into seven inch blocks and cut all the other
squares 7 ½ x 7 ½ to match. Then the fun
began. Although I was careful not to put
two squares together, it was really a matter of throwing two squares together
and chain stitching as fast as I could.
Today I started matching rows two by two. I ended up with an occasional “aww, two like
ones together,” but it’s not too bad. Tonight
I am almost ready to load it onto the long arm.
Happy Quilting,
Mary
