I like the way it is turning out, but how can it be so uneven. I pinned, I sewed slow. I ironed, I starched. Well, now I will be trimming, trimming, trimming.
Here is one of the practice squares that I finished practiced free motion quilting on. I gave this one to Tiffany as part of her birthday present. She said she is using it as a placemat. It does give me another ideal to use up scraps. Like I needed another project.
I am cutting out 12" squares to practice free hand quilting. This is some of the made fabric I ironed on for hours. The small pieces left over were cut into small lego strips
Here's some made fabric that I made years ago. I ironed them up, and cut into 1 1/2" strips for my lego quilt. It was really fun. And it cleared out another container.
Here's a large basket of crumb squares to iron, and then add more strips. Slow progress, but fun progress.
I'm not much of a pinner, but I have had to pin these strips to keep them straight. This may be a cheap quilt top, it might use up all my little scraps, but it is not a quick, carefree project.
I put them ontop of the basket as I am sewing them to keep them nice and wrinkle free. After all that ironing, I don't want anything put on top of it.
Here's some of my kaladiscope parts. I finished enough blocks. So I am now processing them into 1 1/2 " strips. I have been sewing them into longer strips.
Here's a big pile of 1 1/2" stips. I love the great variety of colors.
