Saturday

I'm still learning what to do with this program and the order I which to select actions. No, I haven't read the instructions yet. I mean - try first then read the manual. Isn't that the correct order?

OK re-quilting. Little boxes is progressing. I've completed 4 18" squares of the 16 that I have to make.  Each square consist of 8 mini-blocks so there is a total of 128 blocks.

It says here is an error in the save so I'll try again

Day 2

I'm still learning how to use this program. This task alone will keep me thinking.

My little boxes continues to grow. So far I've done 64 blocks so am exactly halfway. I absolutely love it. I'm just trying to work out how I can find a large enough space to set out the completed 16 sets of 8 blocks so that the balance of light and dark is good. When I work out how to include photos on this blog, I'll upload them.

Now it's a break for 2 hours of gardening as the sky is blue and the temperature has finally reached double figures.

Day 1

This will be fun. After many years of collecting fabric and patterns and magazines and knowledge I've finally started to get a handle on quilting, actually started cutting fabric and can see how I can use my beautiful fabric.

Yes I have made quilts and they've been really good but now I'm moving into a different room. I'm looking at things differently - it's as if I'm looking at the task of quilting from a different angle - a different perspective.

Currently I'm working on a quilt from a magazine called Vignette. The instructions are abysmal - practically non existent and that's probably good because it forced me to make decisions about my quilt. And it is my quilt - not a copy of someone else's pattern.
