Today, I finished the quilt. Well the top of the quilt anyways. Eunice has been patient with me watching me cut, sew, measure in record slow time. And she still smiled, joked and told stories while I busied myself cutting or sewing the pieces. It was a wonderful class and I totally enjoyed it and I learned a ton of techniques. She designed this quilt to show different cutting and sewing techniques. I had a ball with each row and didn’t feel it was hard while I was doing it. Not sure I remember all the things she showed me but I think they will come back when I make more quilts.
Today we did the borders. I liked a smaller maroon border outside of the brown border to further define the edge. And after the final border was sewn, I like it better now. It warms up the piece actually. At first I thought I would not use it as the color didn’t seem to match the rows. But I think it is ok looking at it as a whole.
Quite excited.
Now what would I do for the next one!
