#whateverquilt

I only need to make about 40 more of these 😱 I’m really enjoying the hand sewing. It’s a bit like knitting when you find your groove 😊 In other news, I’m picking up my #whateverquilt from the longarm quilter tomorrow. I’m so excited! The only thing left to do on it will be the binding, and I still haven’t made up my mind which fabric to use. I’ll make my mind up when I see it... probably 😂 #quilting #handsewing #epp #englishpaperpiecing https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-AsL8JP9N/?igshid=i62jh6lhkpai

I’ve seen all my blocks into rows; next I need to tackle joining the rows. I’ve gone a little off piste and am putting sashing between my blocks. I’m really happy with how it’s looking. I spoke to a longarm quilter yesterday as I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew in terms of the quilting 😳 This will be about 7’x7’- a bit ambitious for my first serious quilting project! I definitely want to have a go at some quilting though 😊 Watch this space! #whateverquilt #quilting https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2CShapLj6/?igshid=1mqz68xwanb7e

I collected my quilt today 😎 Sylvia of #whitegablesstudios has done a fantastic job with the quilting. I’m still trying to decide what to do for the binding. The backing won’t work I think. It looks quite flat next to the warm colours of the quilt. It’s actually brown and cream, but is showing up grey in the 2nd photo. I have some jelly roll strips that I can use, maybe sew them into a strip set, then cut them into a border strip? I don’t know if that will make the binding too bulky. I shall be spending the afternoon on Google 😂 #whateverquilt #quiltersofinstagram #quilt https://www.instagram.com/p/CNARALGJtxF/?igshid=mmiat94pm42

More sewing! This is the first block of 36 😳 I’m finding it quite nerve-wracking because I haven’t made a major boo-boo yet. I can’t believe that I won’t 🤣 I suspect my ‘scant 1/4” seam’ isn’t quite scant enough, but it’s going together pretty well 🤞🤞🤞 #whateverquilt #skillshare #skillshareproject #sewing #quilting #mynervesareinrags https://www.instagram.com/p/CLb5p1xp1v5/?igshid=1f15nodlvhwh2

All my strip sets are cut up. I’m really pleased with how they look 😍 Tomorrow, I’ll start joining them all up into one long binding strip. 🪡 #whateverquilt #warpedspinsterquiltpatterns #quilting https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0NEZnJEg_/?igshid=rhja108yyz9o
