Jack Can’t Wait For The Quilt-Along
August 27th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
I’ve really been excited about getting started on this quilt top and getting it ready for the machine quilting quilt-along.
When I bought the fabrics I chose the brightest colours and most fun patterns I could find, envisioning the resulting quilt top as being one “only a mother could love”.
I kept smiling to myself as I cut into each of the fabrics (despite watching the deeply disturbing ‘The Experiment’, the new Adrian Brody, Forrest Whittaker movie) and couldn’t help but enjoy myself as I handled these immensely cheerful fabrics. I was really surprised when I finished the quilt top (an hour and a half later) to find that it actually wasn’t as garish and eye-watering as I had thought it would be.
It’s also the perfect size for Jack, and it’s pretty obvious that while I may be excited about the next step in the quilt-along being posted sometime this weekend, Jack is very excited about the entire quilt-along being over and his new quilt finished. He’s such a softy.
