I spent the holiday weekend cutting and pressing fabric for Clara's Quilt. The 2-patch blocks (480 units, but who's counting?) are done. The marathon pressing and cutting is over for a while.
It helped that I purchased a package of 40 light batik strips at the quilt show in August. But I realized when I was pressing them before sewing, that some of them were bowed. These were obviously cut by hand. I ended up cutting a section out of the middle of several strips so they could be used.

Looks like you are ready to roll on the next step! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your piles! It is such a feeling of accomplishment when the large number of pieces are sewn and pressed.... even if it is just the beginning. :)
ReplyDeleteI've have tried to stay away from precuts because of their inconsistent sizes making for unhappy surprises :-/
ReplyDeleteThe stacks attest that you had a "labor" day.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of precuts. Of late, even fat quarters have been a disappointment. You certainly kept focused! Can't wait to see what's next.
ReplyDeleteWow...what a lot of prep time!
