I have completed four columns now and I'm feeling very happy with the result.
This project is so satisying and I am pleased with my very first effort at making a quilt. I was a bit worried that my seams aren't as even as I'd like them to be but I think the design is quite forgiving due to the bias used.
I have no trouble seeing the illusion effect now and I'm beginning to think the fabrics I've used are quite OK.
This is fun!
With the joining of the trapeziums and small triangles complete it's time to join the triangles to make the columns.
With only 40 more triangle blocks to sew, I'm approaching the next stage where the triangles will be sewn together to create the illusion effect.
I can't wait to see how all the triangles will fit together so I simulated in PhotoShop how my finished quilt might look. I am pleased with the result.
After completing 8 of each of the 16 blocks I'm now doing an extra 20 of each block to make a total of 28 of each block, A to P, to complete the main part of the quilt.
There are 24 different fabrics used for the trapezoids and I'm finding I really need to concentrate to ensure I use the correct fabric, in the right order, for each block.
On a roll now. The first 8 blocks of G, H & I have been stitched.
I need to pay more attention and stop rushing.
I have stitched the first 8 of each of Blocks A, B & C so far. It IS a start, and I'm enjoying doing it.
I wish I didn't have double vision because it makes lining up the edge of the fabric with the edge of the ruler quite difficult.
I really enjoyed making overalls for my youngest great nephew. They were meant to be for his first birthday but I was a couple of weeks late getting them to him. Unfortunately the overalls were much too long for Eddie and I don't think they will go around his tummy when the legs are the right size for him.
He looks so cute in them.
It's finished but I'm not happy with it.
Trying to get my embroidery thread spools better organised.

Stitched out well, but not really suitable for use in a project.
