So it has been a long while since my last post. I have been sewing most of the summer focusing mainly on my white diamond english paper piecing quilt. I have now got a date to finish it by so I need to devote all my free time to it.I have progressed into connecting the blocks together which has been very encouraging to see how it may look when it's finished. The blocks are much larger than my one inch hexagons that I progress a little faster.
I enjoyed doing the placements of the blocks. It is one of my favourite part of quilting, this is where I can get creative. I love working with patterns. Hence why I chose to use several different white and cream toned fabrics.
Sewing these large blocks was actually really fun. However it was not all that comfortable sitting on the floor. Simply, I needed to lay the blocks on the floor for the layout. The placement had to stay on the floor until all the blocks were connected.
This could be much easier if I could use a machine, however there is something so satisfying about hand stitching these blocks together. There has been so much work put in this already and I am so excited to see the final product.
The goal was to make a double sized quilt, however I believe I could easily make it into a queen sized quilt. I will see how I go with it.
Below is what I have so far. To see more updates on this and other quilts, I update my Instagram more regularly (link below).
Thanks for reading and happy sewing.
