The hard part about writing a book, is not being able to share the quilts I’m really excited to be making! Over the last month, I’ve completed tops for 9 of the 10 projects in my next book, but I saved the most laborious for last. I wanted to be able to focus, and not mix things up, which I haven’t done yet (knock on wood)!
The project includes some strip piecing – which I like to use a shortened stitch length for. This keeps stitches from unraveling when I cut my segments.
Any guesses as to how many half-square triangle units are here? I cut all of these with my Go! cutter last week, there’s a few quarter-square triangles too. Then I spent two days of sewing to get to a point where I’m ready to assemble my blocks, as soon as I finish pressing.
Wish me luck?
I’m also hosting the family Thanksgiving festivities, so I am hoping to find a little balance, and a clean house this week!
More soon,
Amy
My guess would be over 1500. Thank goodness you have an Accuquilt cutter. I don’t envy you with all that ironing. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Oh my gosh, close to 2000? Amy, I was just listening to the podcast on my drive in this morning. I am really enjoying the podcast! If I want to back a quilt with flannel, do I need to pre-wash the flannel? I do not pre-wash my quilting fabric but it seems flannel shrinks more than the quilting cottons would.
Thanks,
Cindy
LUCK!
Pretty fabrids and colors.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
WOW! that is lot of cutting! Good luck with the quilts. I am guessing your 500 HTS approximately.

You will need more than luck…you’ll need stamina! There are a LOT of pieces there. Hope that you have a really good iron. It will be exciting to see the finished quilt!
