What fun this is… not that I expected it NOT to be… but when I finished with a block, not only does it look cool… it’s already quilted!
First, I sashed the neutral center.
Then, after making the quilt sandwich, I pinned the sashing before laying out / fiddling with the scraps, trying to make them look good...
Even though I glued the blocks down, I added some straight pins "just in case" and as a way to pin-baste the center. I used my walking foot because I was sewing through multiple layers... worked like a charm! I then stitched around the center block... 1/4" from the seam.
Looked good when I finished and de-linted it...
...and the back looked cool!
Today, I’m going to take my Michael’s coupon and get me a pinking rotary cutter. I have been putting it off but now I have a good reason to get one because I would like my pinked edges to be straighter… however, I still see a need for my pinking shears.
Just HAD to do another block… so I did!
Now I kinda have the hang of it, let’s see how many I can get finished today…
