FOTY 2014 Major Progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In between other stuff, I spent a lot of time over the weekend sewing the FOTY 2014 patches together. This quilt top has been languishing much too long. I felt like I had a layout that I liked.<\/p>\n

There are over 350 patches that have to be removed sewn and put back in order to keep the piece in order. I put a leader\/ender in between each set of patches to make it easier to keep the FOTY patches straight in my head.<\/p>\n

In the course of sewing the patches together, I also made 19 Octagon 9 Patches and 14 donation blocks. Not shabby for ‘found blocks’.<\/p>\n

FOTY 2014 – Patches in 9s & 12s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought it was impossible that I would get it done. I got to the point where all the patches were sewn into sets of 8 and I was very happy with that. The other night I sewed those sets together, which took much less time, but required much more fiddling, because of the nesting of seams.<\/p>\n

The piece looks<\/em> together now, but it is in sets of 9 or 12 patches. I am carefully chunking all the sets in order to avoid those long seams and to nest the seams more precisely. My goal is to get the top done before Saturday, so I can show it off at the BAMQG meeting. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
