I sewed the quilt in 5 sections. I will get the last 4 seams done today. It looks like it is going to fit together OK. I had to measure it to be sure since I could trim the center section if necessary.
One more day and this first cactus bloom will be opened. I took this photo in low light rather than move the plant. They don't like to be moved once they start budding out.
I just HAD to buy this cute zebra fabric that was on sale a couple weeks ago. They said it was oxford cloth but is more like canvas. I think it would make a cute tote bag with black accents.
Your blocks look great.I hope by the weekend I can get to my things. I have several things to get ready today and I would like to get some cutting done for variety. I wish I had a basement room like you do. Chris
The quilt is wonderful! Since your strips are all different sizes, trimming a bit won't impact the look. That zebra fabric is great! It would make a fun tote bag!
This quilt is beautiful! I have a question about your string blocks - do you use a foundation, or just sew the strings together? Thank you for a wonderful blog! Jackie jackiealu@aol.com
So far, there are no blooms/buds on my two cactus plants. They are growing like wildfire though and get so heavy, the branches drop off. I pick them up and put them in the dirt to replant. I am wondering if they will be blooming when I come back from vacation ? I sure hope the little buds start appearing.
Quilt is coming together beautifully! I got some of that zebra fabric a while back, as well. I didn't read carefully before getting it and was disappointed to find that it was practically canvas! I'm sure I would've gotten some regardless, and can still put it in one of my "all zebra fabric" quilts, but otherwise I'm not sure what'll become of it. I didn't buy that much, but I'm not worried, i would've regretted it if I'd passed it up! Have to have them all!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about cactus.
ReplyDeleteI think the zebra fabric would make a great cushion type pillow.

I can see why you had to have the zebra fabric. I love the way this top is turning out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing me how the quilt went together. It helps to know how to approach the work.
