Week 2 – Day Seven

Monday, March 30, 2020

I finally got at some actual quilting today; up to now it has just been piecing. I decided I should start slow and small so I’ve done one miniature and I have another one under the needle. Neither are complicated quilting as the patterns seemed busy enough that additional patterns with quilting wouldn’t have shown. I have several more projects ready to quilt and for those I hope to be more daring.

Today’s block went together well. I think I’m learning a lot as the days go by and I piece many different patterns. I’m following the cutting directions given (even if I think I could use a different technique if I were able to do the math), I’m trimming after every seam and taking care to match my points. Nothing perfect yet, but I think I’m doing better.

Today’s block will finish at nine inches.
