Quilting Accountability.
Over the weekend I worked on Carolina Christmas and got through the first part of step 4. At that point I needed to cut more fabric, and if I did, I would continue to work on it when I really needed to finish the DWR so I can start the hand quilting. So, I temporarily set aside Carolina Christmas, and finished up my DWR piecing last night.
I’m participating the Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler BOW, so I will finish piecing this week’s block and a couple of swap blocks before tackling the borders on Ladder to the Stars. I continue to work on Oklahoma Backroads as my leader/ender.
It is my intention to sandwich both the DWR and the Music Quilt this weekend so I can start quilting them next week. As long as my wrists holds out I’ll spend 30 minutes each day on the DWR. I expect the music quilt will take me several evenings to machine quilt.
Thanks Bari for starting the Accountability Challenge.
Woo hoo! You finished piecing your DWR! I am so excited, and doesn’t it feel GREAT to get that part finished?
Way to go!
I’m so excited about your finish! Way to go!
So did you get a Blazing star done to your liking yet? If you have any tips, pass them along please! I’m a bit worried after reading your post on the SBS list.
After I posted last night I ripped it out and tried again. The diamonds are done now, but I haven’t had a chance to put it all together. Believe it or not, it really is a simply block — if you pay attention, Is started to write how I got it to work, but it was getting lengthy. Tonight I’ll see if I can do a picture tutorial.
Wow a finish already. Way to go.
Good job at finishing the DWR. I am working on my carolina christmas too… much slower than you tho
