Quilting Steps 6-9

At the first weekly Tuesday night Quilting with Wendy, 3 of us continued our lessons.

Step 6: Get right to work cutting out strips to frame the middle block, always cut in 1/2 inch lengths and widths.

Step 7: Always sew 1/4 inch seams and keep the seams straight, but a good ironing job covers a multitude of mistakes.

Step 8: Lots of chatting, laughing and compliments makes time go by quickly, oh, and snacking.

Step 9: When it's 9:50pm, hustle it and get your top finished so you have something to show the folks at home.
