First the side panels onto the center piece.
Then the top panel and the bottom one.
The next is going to be the black border all around it
then it has to be quilted.
I am going to let a professional quilter do the quilting.

They’re amazing! And, that didn’t take long at all!
It is the smaller squares that take up all the time. As soon as they are cut and stitched together it is easy to put everything together.
Really nice looking! So there are pro’s who do the quilting? I didn’t know that.
Yes, I do not have a quilting sewing machine. It is difficult to quilt on an ordinary sewing machine. There is not enough space to move the heaps of material that needs to be quilted around. They call the machine a long arm quilting machine. Usually you are supposed to quilt by hand. I did the hand quilting for my first quilts. The ones I want to put on the show look better when they are machine quilted.
Amazing to see how quickly this is coming together, and how beautiful it is!
The cutting and sewing the smaller squares takes most of the time. As soon as you have your bigger squares its goes quickly to put it together. I have to wait till the shop reopens to buy the backing and the batting. Then it’s only the quilting itself
Good for you – it’s going to be amazing! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
