I have been ordering alot of precut squares off ebay(my cutting just flat out sucks.) She has been very interested in the fabrics, so i began with an idea to give her 42 squares...I figured she would have a doll quilt... she decided it would be a bed for her 2 month old kitten, Isis, that we watched be born. I told her to lay them out 6 rows of 7. so she set to work.. laid them out, handed them to me in order and even kept track as she handed them to me.. (row #, square #) i pieced them, sewed on a border.. then started quilting it.. just basic SID.. she wanted to help... so she followed the seam and quilted almost half by herself. :D i still have the last side to finish the binding... but its getting there.
I had made a center block for her own quilt.. but after doing the kittys bed, she decided she just wanted patchwork, with her favorite colors.. pink and green.. flowers... she laid them out... repeatedly for the last week lol... so today we finally set to work... she rearranged rows as i sewed rows of 5-7 decided to use the block i had made as the center of the quilt top. Managed to the 12 bottom rows today... have 8 top rows to go..
im too sore to finish tonight, im done sewing for the day. (also sewed the top of the doll quilt for a swap im in today, and took the girls to the park) Im worn out.. but feels great to have gotten so much done :D and i sure wont complain about my house still being clean :D well... except for my sewing room lol... but the door is closed and locked.. no1 has to see it lol
