Anyway I did manage to get the top of this quilt finished, and I ordered some snazzy fabric for the back. I haven't decided on binding yet, but I am looking forward to quilting this.
I actually cut out all the 6" white squares, I NEVER do this, seems so pointless to cut out and sew back together solid fabric. This time I felt it would give me way more flexibility for the final quilt pattern. It is still in development, but I'm getting antsy to get started. I totally got the hang of the applique, and it was actually pretty fun! My machine doesn't have blanket stitch, so I used zig-zag... It looks good.
The final design is perfectly symmetrical. See you can take the graph paper away from the girl.. but she will then just make her fabric into graph paper... I have not made a single drawing, so my challenge to myself on this quilt is still holding.
Tomorrow I am going to a quilt expo. I have no idea what this will entail, but I'm hoping there will be pretty quilts to see lots of cheap fat quarters to buy! I will probably post about that and show my new wares. :)
