Moving right along

My mantra this year has been to just do the next thing... whether it is iron that next lot of fabric, or cut out some blocks... or prepare a backing.  And I'm making progress!  Slowly but surely!

With just one block left on Patchwork City, the first thing was ironing the grey fat quarter!  These mass produced bundles are folded with impressive fold lines!


And start the units.  All weird shapes in the units left to last, but they went together surprisingly well.


Until I had all three shapes completed.


And laid in place with the rest of them.


Woohoo!  So worthwhile getting that first section sewn earlier in the year.


And it didn't take too long to get those last couple of blocks sashed with the thinner sashing, and added to the row with the wider sashing.


I also added the bottom plain border, and the between row sashing.

All that is left is to sew these rows together and add plain borders to the sides.  What an epic quilt!  This really feels like a huge achievement.  And so close to being finished!

Congratulations Suz! It is epic and a huge achievement! Do I dare spoil your mood by asking how you are going to quilt it? That often puts a dampener on my flimsy finishes! So apologies if I’ve rained on your parade!

Now that's progress! And did I see on Instagram that it's now a finish?! Well done - that's a mammoth effort :-)
