And the Quilt Continues...

Day 2 of the quilt went well.  I love how it turned out.  While I'm waiting for the other grandmothers to send me linen, lace, or hankie that I can use on the quilt, I'm trying to get all the appliqued designs done.  This one took me from 11:00 to 4:30 to complete.  But it went well. 

I used 5x5 charm squares to help with the placement of the appliqued letters.  Made it so much easier to line the letters up.  I did cheat a little and eyeballed it too. The letters each were under 5".

I still find the hardest thing to do when it comes to making something, without patterns or really even if I have a pattern, is fabric decisions.  As you will probably noticed, there are a couple of fabrics that weren't in the other photo, but really blended well. 

The quilt will be approximately 43" wide and it's length is still to be determined.  I'm also debating on whether to quilt it myself or send it to a professional quilter.  I'll know more when I get closer to completions. 

I would like to think that this journey will inspire you to try something different and new.
