We Are Making Progress Every Week

. Saturday, April 14, 2018 .
We are still plugging along.  We are taking our time and really checking each stitch to make sure it passes inspection from two sets of eyes.  It is a slow process but we want it to be right!

Cutting the 2.5-inch sashings that go on the right side of almost every square.

Checking another time to see if it will sew right before pinning and sewing.

Pinning each square in three places to make sure it stays in place.

Once again in piles according to rows.

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
