Block 5
I had a little trouble with this one but 'adjusted' the outside pieces and it is 16.5 x 16.5 so all's well.
I also have the January guild blocks done. I came home from the meeting on the 17th and made them. It was about all the sewing I did before Christmas.
I have started sewing the rows and sashing together on my Dresden quilt. These are now together-woo hoo.
I have the applique pieces all cut out for my final Christmas project for this year!
I was planning on having it done for this year but that didn't happen.
My mom had a king size quilt that she had bought at JCPenney (yes one of those quilts!) It's 10-15 years old. She asked me a couple of months ago if I could cut it down to fit one of her twin beds. After I had cut off 2 rows of blocks, she thought perhaps I could sew the leftovers, blocks and borders together so she would have a matching one, albeit wonky that would match for the other twin bed in the room!
I didn't take a picture of the original and the 1st cut down twin is already with my mom. I gave it to her on Christmas. Here is the wonky leftover one. It is about 62 x 78.
I just sewed the sections together all 3 layers in tact RS together and then loaded it on HQ with a new white backing and straight stitched across the rows just to hold it together. I did have to make new binding for this one- 1/2 yard I had in my stash.
I think she will be pleased. I am.
