I finished the cutting for two flannel quilts yesterday. This is the first one.
I used 5.5 yards in each quilt. The leftover section of the 4.5" strips was cut into squares for another quilt.
Last night I watched Netflix for almost two hours and got the first part done on this Stack and Slash quilt. Then I sorted them into groups of 4 and they are ready to stack and slash and shuffle.
My husband has been on a trip-so, while he has been gone I have watched days of Netflix-every Miss Marple in all versions-and got a ton done! Tomorrow i need to clean up and pretend I've been doing something besides sewing:) Love those tans and reds!
Hmmm - I'm stuck on ideas for a quilt on my wall, so I haven't gone into the sewing room - but that's a great idea to watch a movie while working on another quilt - a mindless one. I forget that I can work on 2 projects at once. Thanks for your unintended inspiration.
Lovely selections for both quilts. 5.5 yards each quilt is one big cutting project. I know you enjoy each phase of your quilts with the cutting, designing, sewing, quilting and binding. Did I leave out anything? (*._,*)
I did go back and checked out your post on Stack and Slash. I'm sure this new batch of blocks will be as fun to design with as you posted 11/4/11.
Sounds different . Waiting to see . I loved the snowballs
ReplyDeleteSounds like you made great progress. I need to get a couple baby quilt sized quilts whipped up. Chris

Looks like it goes together pretty quickly. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about this block pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. That's a lot of prep work. Those rich, soft, warm fabrics are colors that guys love.

ReplyDeleteI love the Netflix and quilting combo - it's how I get things DONE! Your quilt in progress looks so cozy, perfect for our Midwestern winter.
