So today I finally started my sister's quilt. This was meant to be her birthday present, but it is now going to be her birthday/welcome back to NJ gift. After picking up two more fabrics for it Monday I told myself no more and got to work deciding how the layout would be. Here are the final collection of fabrics.
I am using the pattern
Curious Nature designed by David Butler. I sat down last night and figured where all the fabrics would go in the pattern since I am not using the exact directions for the quilt pattern.
So the instructions say to enlarge the pattern pieces by 400% on a copier, well that was a bit difficult so it took multiple times copying the pieces to get the outline so I could overlap it and tape the pieces together. Next time it might be worth a trip to staples.
Does anyone else get nervous before the first cut of fabric???
5 of my fabrics into the cutting... still some more cutting to do before I get to sewing. I am cutting and laying it all out first in case I want to change something before I put it together.
I like the pattern! I do get nervous making the first cut into fabric. It is taking that first step.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along quite nicely. I love your fabric choices and colors. Can't wait to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I had so much fun choosing all the fabrics for this.
