Happy New Year 2010! My how the years are flying by. Seems like only yesterday that I began my quilt project! Another tragic event has occurred in the world, a 7.0 earthquake has hit Haiti! It's the largest quake ever recorded in that area. How sad for the people of Haiti!
I am continuing to work on adding two more rows to the top of my quilt. I have finished the first row which is 140 squares in length. I have started on the second row and am currently cutting more squares. I cut a length of folded material so that when I cut the strip it cuts four squares at a time. I usually cut about 40-60 squares each time. I sew them into lengths of 10, then sew the lengths together when I've sewn 14 lengths.

Is this ALL done by HAND?
ReplyDeleteHi, and yes, this quilt is 100% hand made. I'm almost ready to put it together and begin the quilting phase, hopefully it won't take as long as the top did :-)
