After a short hike and a quick run to the grocery store this morning, I spent the rest of the day working on the quilt. First I cut all my 8 1/2 " strips -- 200 in all. Once they were all cut I put them together in groups of four and sewed each group together to make the blocks. I managed to get all 50 blocks finished by 7 pm! All the blocks are pictured below. They are pretty :)
I was curious what the quilt might look like, so after I finished my first 25 blocks, I laid them out with the pink 1/2 blocks. I'm liking it so far. I am going to lay them all out tomorrow and get them sewn together. I'm hoping to get the border on as well, but I have to work tomorrow afternoon so we'll see what happens. I'd be very happy to have the quilt top finished tomorrow, that way next weekend I can do the backing and start doing the quilting. That will take some time. More to come tomorrow...
