Patching It Together
Today I originally planned to attend the Council Quilt Show, but Judy and I both had surprises pop up, so we've postponed it until a later (to-be-determined) date. Luckily, I still managed to find a couple of hours to work on my current project.
My second "This & That" quilt is coming together quite nicely. I always love repeating a quilt pattern and implementing the tricks I figured out the first time around. Shaving off time and figuring out ways to speed the process are part of what make quilting so inviting to me. I happened upon a tip in a favorite pattern book that cut out an entire step in making 1/2 square triangles the way I usually do. I was almost giddy over the discovery, and I completed all 300+ pieces in a third of the time I took on the previous example of the pattern. I'm hoping tomorrow to finish up the blocks and get the entire quilt top constructed.
Right now, I still need to conquer the mountain of laundry before I hit the sack for the night.
