Four blocks attached now. I'm going to take a little break for dinner and give my brain a rest. Denise asked about the stitching. I traced each pattern by taping the paper pattern to my window and taping the fabric over it. I used the finest point micron pen (.01 I think?) to draw on the fabric. Each block is stitched in stem stitch with #12 perle cotton. I like the way perle cotton looks, although you could use floss.
Once all these blocks are added, I will be embroidering all the seams. There's a lot of detail in this quilt!
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! Almost makes me wish I hadn't lost that battle with my sewing gene.
ReplyDeleteI'll just stick to knitting and try to hit up the mil for one of these babies!
WoW! That is going to look so cool once it is done!
