Lots of prep<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

I suppose that is what has to happen at some point. I know I mitigate massive bouts of cutting by breaking it up, but occasionally, I can’t get away from it.<\/p>\n

In addition to everything else I did at Sew Day<\/a>, I also cut background squares for the Triple Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This was a task I really needed to do to make anymore progress on the piece, but was also reluctant to do due to space considerations. At Sew Day, I commandeered a large mat and table. I was able to lay out the book<\/a>, the finished pieces, my rulers and still have space to cut. It was great and I got the job done quickly.<\/p>\n

I still have foreground fabric to cut as I have been focusing my cutting on the 2.5″ x 6.5″ rectangles and using the Alison Glass Sun Prints layer cake. Before I can do much more I need to cut some of the smaller foreground pieces from other pieces. I don’t want to make a one fabric line quilt. I want it to be more controlled scrappy like the version I saw at Back Porch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I did a little piecing using the pieces I cut and they are looking good so far. I am using the Janome 6600, which I talked about yesterday<\/a>. They came out perfectly. There was no fighting with the machine. I used the “flippy corners” method and the machine did not eat the corners. It was a relatively painless experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
