All the strips sewn together and ironed |
I was pretty disappointed with the precut fabric. The cuts were inconsistent in length and more than a few were not straight! It's frustrating to spend a fair amount of time and effort to make 20 straight strips, only to pair them with a bunch of crooked ones!
Quilting while pregnant is different than when I'm not pregnant. I have to put more forethought into things. Like if it's going to take 45 minutes to iron open the seams on all 21 strips (I added an extra), then I need to do them in batches and do it sitting down so I don't strain my back. And I have an ever growing pile of snacks on my quilting table so I don't have to run downstairs to get food when I become hungry.
Cut up and ready to sew back together. |
Anyway, that's where I'm at with my quilting. I'm still anxiously waiting for my roll of batting. I hope it will get here tomorrow so I can spend all day Saturday quilting. But there's a storm a comin' and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get here until Monday.
