Last year after making the quilt for the wedding photographer, I saved the scraps together in a bag. I really liked the colors in that quilt and wanted to make another project with the same palette.
I cleared off my design wall so that I could focus a little better.I started sewing pieces together and had quickly sewn five strips of liberated triangles.
I added sashing between them and voila, a quick little quilt top.I'm hand quilting this one and am enjoying the cooler temperatures stitching on it outside this week.
I've been doing some hand work.It has been so long since I hand quilted that I had forgotten a few things. I should have basted this with a needle and thread so that my stitching thread would not catch on the pins as I stitch. I also should have marked the quilt before basting.Live and learn.My fingertips are now raw from thousands of needle pricks. It must be time to do some recovery time knitting. A crafter's work is never done.
