For some time now I have been meaning to make a start on
a quilt for my daughter. Before Christmas, I started to cut out some squares
for a nine patch and then left it for a while, life got in the way. I picked
them up again last week and realised I made a massive boob, I blame the lack of
sleep from when I cut them due to my newborn. I had allowed the seam allowance
but only for one side, an experienced quilter/ sewer may have been able to to
still use the pieces but I want to do things ‘by the book’ and have it as
perfect as I can manage. I thought that I would have all these small squares of
fabric wasted, although I could save them for applique pieces but everything
would then be quite samey. I thought about finishing, batting and binding then
it occurred to me they are big enough to use as bias binding- woo no wasted
fabric and it will give the quilt a nice finish too.
Keep checking back for progress and photos!
Thanks for reading, N
