Quilting

[bertine]

On Friday and Saturday I cut out a bunch of quilt blocks for my mom's quilt. I am going to make her this quilt except I am only going to use 6 fabrics instead of 12. I am a rebel (also I couldn't find 12 funky flower patterns like this).



I have just a couple more blocks to cut out and I have to buy more of sashing since I wasn't paying attention to the width of the fabic when I bought it and I need about 1/4 yard more.

I am excited about this. It is much smaller than Serinia's quilt which is taking forever and that I stopped working on until I bought a 1/4 inch foot. Also, I am really scared to actually quilt things. I need to make some potholders to practice.

BTW, I really want a camera that uploads to the internet from it so I can take better pictures than my cellphone takes. I am too lazy to upload things to my computer anymore.

If you haven't already, befriend Felix Needleworthy on Facebook. He's a costumer extraordinaire, who I know from Fest, who also does the dealer's room at Con. He advertises periodically when he has too many scraps of material leftover and wants to give them away free!

I was going to ask, how do you get the actual quilty pattern on stuff? I would imagine it involves putting some kind of batting in there or something?

That is going to be one awesome-looking quilt, I like the pattern and the fabric selections.

Maybe. I didn't know you could get a card that does that. That is pretty cool.

I might. However, I already have too much fabric and not enough time. Stupid job.

This is sort of you do it:

then you sew them all together. I am scared to do the last part.

I love the pattern, it is so simple yet fun!

it worked for me once, but then i got confused. it's a rather small card, too (2gb, i think), and it wouldn't take enough photos for my liking. i will dig it out and bring it your way next time i see ya.
