I Swear I Am Making Stuff

Posted under crafts, quilts, Year of Making Stuff Comments Off

I don’t have any finished items to show, but I have been sewing like mad this week trying to finish all 320 of the 4.5″ blocks (each one made up of 6 pieces) for a quilt that is due in early October.  My goal was to finish before my vacation coming up at the end of the month, and while I had to go and buy a little bit more fabric at the end, I made it.  I also put together 4 of those 4.5″ blocks to see what they look like put together.  A little scrappy (those little squares in the middle are 1″), but I am super happy to have hit a major milestone in the project.  Tonight I sorted the 320 blocks to make sure all the colors were spread out, so now 1 down and 79 left to go!
