I started a new quilt not long ago and have finally come to the sewing part. Cutting this quilt was interesting, it takes 28 fat quarters in pairs and about every square inch of the fat is needed. Make a mistake and you are out a block. Which happened of course, thirty seconds after I declared "I had better pay attention".
Sewing batiks is so relaxing, they don't stretch at all so there is no need to pin anything. I am using a mix of batiks and prints though, so I can't get too complacent. The final quilt should look something like the pattern bellow. The color I chose are so different it made me anxious at first, but now I am just excited. You can find the pattern here.
