Making progress…

May 29, 2012 8 Comments

…on my new quilt.
I thought that basting the fabric onto paper templates  is the most time consuming step. But now I don’t think so.I basted the 200 pieces in 2 days.

This project teaches me how to be organized.

I am so grateful  that someone so clever invented this technique.  It doesn’t matter that you need time for hand stitching. Then you need time to remove the basting stitches. The most important thing is that you can make perfect pieces and it is so easy to stitch them together.

Now to sew mine!

PS. Thank you all who nominated or voted for my quilt in the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival.

    I don't baste my hexagons with thread. I use a fabulous glue pen. It is so much faster and give nice crisp edges. Leaves no residue on the fabric, last a very long time and it is easy to pull out the paper templates:-)
    Also a great relief to arthritic hands, you just hold the glue pen like a pencil and it needs no force to apply the glue *s*

    You're making great progress!

    I've finished 100 blocks for an English paper pieced Pies & Tarts quilt (pattern by Sue Daly)–still have 84 more tarts to go. I love hand sewing — sew relaxing. And you're right, the pieces fit together beautifully.

    Do you use a price tag labelling gun to label your pieces? That is brilliant!
