Big Star Progress
February 5th, 2010
Every morning when I wake up, I want to head straight downstairs and start sewing. The morning chores have to be done before I can start sewing but I’m usually at the machine by 9 or 9:30.
One morning this week, I had all the Big Star blocks and sashing strips made. I was anxious to get started on the border blocks. They’re my favorite part, you know?
Then I realized I hadn’t stuck in the sashing squares so I added those.
The border blocks kinda look like Mickey Mouse ears, huh?
Finished all the pieced blocks. Sewed the blocks and rows together. Started adding the non-pieced borders and they weren’t fitting. They always fit! I use Electric Quilt and the measurements are perfect. I had used the wrong size for the sashing! A bit of adjusting on the non-pieced borders and everything worked out but I hate when that happens!
