Finished!

I am so happy with this quilt! Actually, I finished it Thursday evening right before heading off to bed, but I forgot to post yesterday.

This pot holder method really works for me. I think I may return to machine stitching the blocks together so that I can work through all of my ideas more quickly.

Today will be organizing day. Angela and I are making great progress upstairs, but there is still a lot that I would like to sort through before the holidays. I think my family will be very surprised to find fewer craft items taking up space!

Time flies

 

Another week seems to be getting away from me, and I don't have much to show in the way of crafting. I did manage to finish one front of my patchwork jacket. I took a different approach and pieced the section before sewing it on. I'm not sure which approach is better, but this was definitely an easier way to align the pieces. 

I realized I didn't have enough of this jelly roll fabric to finish the jacket, so I ordered another. If I like the way the jacket fits, I plan to hand quilt, embroider, and/or add embellishments after it's finished. If I don't like the way it fits, I will donate it... I think!
