I made my first quilt blocks!

Thanks to the #QuiltersOfMastodon for giving me the confidence and advice I needed to get started with #quilting

I ordered some supplies online, but I was so excited to get started that I went ahead and made a few 4 Patch blocks with some fabrics I had on hand. I think I might use the rest of these prints to make either a bench cushion for my sewing table or a new blanket for my dog.

I can see now how getting the seams to line up is going to be a pain ...

Thanks, bud. How would I finish a quilt without you?

Quilt top nearly done! The colours feel very seasonally appropriate, though I started it in May when they definitely weren’t. I’m calling this Exploding Pineapple Pizza (it’s a pineapple block pattern, & homage to #CBC ).

I’m always amazed that a bunch of frenetic blocks calm right down in a plain border.

I’m going to use an old bedsheet as filling, both bc #ZeroWaste & for spring/fall when the duvet is too much.

61 assorted gallon and quart zip lock bags later, I think I'm ready to tackle Elizabeth Hartman's "Pretty Birds."

Took a break from stitching appliqué down to organize an incredibly fussy pattern. Elizabeth Hartman for the win! Now I'm taking a break, from my break so I can eat lunch.
