I've been busy working on the quilt for C's baby shower. First I serged all the fabric edges before washing to prevent ravelling. After drying and then pressing the fabrics, I began to cut the squares.
This included some "fussy-cutting" since I need two of the same design for this puzzle quilt.
Finding the right arrangement of the squares for light/dark and small/large designs took some experimenting!
After cutting the green sashing fabric to the correct sizes, I began to sew the strips together.
The top went together quickly and I'm glad I selected an easy quilt design to sew. Today I washed and dried the batting so it's time to make the "quilt sandwich" (top, batting, bottom). So far so good! After pinning the 3 layers together, I'll be ready to start machine-quilting. If all goes according to plan, the quilt will be completely finished a week before the shower--early for me!
