Progress: Backing picked & quilt sandwiched!

Yes, I'm alive. LOL! I got an old sheet that is complementary to the colors in the quilt.



Here's what it looked like sandwiched. I'm a bit disappointed it isn't bigger. It's huge to me, but compared to an official twin-sized batting, it looked smaller.

Progress: Quilt top finished!!!!

I am so excited to post that I finished the quilt top today! Now I have to find a sheet to use as the backing & decide on binding.



You don't need it anymore, right Mommy?



Does it look good on me?


I think it works!



Where's Jared?



It's also good for going night-night.

Progress: Quilt top almost together!

Well, I have 3 pieces of quilt top. LOL! I have the top 3 rows sewn together & also the bottom 3. I had planned to just start at the top & keep attaching, but by the time I got to row 4, the fabric was heavy & was pulling. I'm just going to have to do more pinning to get the rest together.

Progress: 1 Row Sewn!

It's not much, but I'm making progress. My goal today is to get all rows sewn. Can I do it? We'll see!!!

Progress: Squares finished! Figured out layout!

I finished all the squares - 35 total! Here's the layout:



Justin had to help me. He's usually pretty good with the color & design stuff, so I like to run things by him & get his opinion. Another eye is always good! I didn't want too many of the same fabrics together. It was like a giant jigsaw puzzle! :)

Here are the squares, labeled & ready for sewing!

Progress: Figured out small square borders.

The smaller squares have 2 borders, whereas the larger squares only had one. I had a hard time figuring out what fabric to use for the borders, so I finally decided to use the same border as the larger squares' border for the small squares' first border. Make sense? Stay tuned for the second border, which was way harder to figure out.
