Yep I'm still working it! Just wanted to have some actual progress before i started throwing pics up :) I hope to have all the letters done this week.
I'm about halfway done with the letters for this quilt. I'm VERY glad I chose something simple to write. To be honest, each letter is going faster and faster, but the part in the process where i have to cut out 40 tiny shapes that are weird sizes is SO TEDIOUS. It's the worst, it makes me angry it's so boring. That's why I only do one letter a day :) It's totally weird, because the farmer's wife blocks are MUCH smaller and normally have way more pieces and I enjoy cutting them out. So it makes no sense, but one letter a day seems to be my pace.
What's funny is the "M" I picked the colors as i was cutting it out instead of picking them upfront, and I was totally positive this would be not a strong letter. NOPE! It's my favorite!
So here we are on Kona Eggplant. The final backdrop! I haven't appliqued yet. Just makin' letters.
Don't forget the back is already in progress. This pretty quilt should be coming together very soon. I'm still at a complete loss at the quilting, but I find that after the quilt sandwich has been made something always comes to me.
