Sewing challenge Day 1

I see several of you out there have been sewing today!

 

Doesn't it feel good to at least get in a few stitches?

 

I didn't get as much accomplished as planned

(I ALWAYS over plan my day-LOL)

 

I finally got the binding machine sewn on the Women of Courage

quilt that has been quilted for a little while

 

OK since the first of April

 

 

then

 

I started designing a quilt using the 12 Days of Christmas fabric

 

First-I would LOVE for the fabric companies to print a panel

that is easy to cut out.

 

One that squares up true and that does not involve

1/8" and 1/16" increments when you do finally get it cut.

 

Originally I had all red 1/2" framing around each of the panel sections.

 

But---

Since they were true, it was VERY obvious with the framing.

 

They were really wonky!

 

So---

after frogging ( you know, rip it, rip it) all 12 panels, I decided that

a wider framing and both the red and green alternating would

distract your eye enough that

the unevenness of the panel would go

virtually unnoticeable

 

Hooray!  It works!

 



 

Yes, I also fussy cut the music fabric for the sashing.

 

Not to add just a small 1 1/2" inner red border and the outer border and I will be finished.

 

Hope to get this one done tomorrow night.

 

Keep stitching in July!

 

And remember to post about it!
