Put your foot down 228
Whats under my foot
Put your foot down 228, a weekly linky party every Thursday. Stop by and share your quilt WIP’s, UFO’s, finishes, or any fiber arts projects.
Work continues on these patchwork blocks, I don’t have updated photos though. There was a mishap while trying to get ahead. One evening after I sewed some of these blocks together I decided to go ahead and cut my backing and load it on the frame. It wasn’t until I had it loaded on the frame and ready for batting I realized it. After measuring I rolled it up to cut it to size. Apparently I got a little close to the fold in a few spots because there are vertical slices down the center of my backing. Lights off for the night, lol.
So, the next night I measured and cut more carefully. I was so cautious with the cutting but not so much with measuring. This time the backing was about 10″ too narrow. If you are thinking I turned off the lights again you would be correct. Third times the charm.
Your shares from Put your foot down 227
Purring Cottage shared her Autumn Jubilee. I love fall quilts and this one is beautiful.
Canadian Needle Nana shared this jewel from a thrift store. Can you believe someone would let this go?
What’s under your foot?
Visit last weeks Put your foot down 227 here to see what else was shared. Somewhere in your post that you are linking up, I ask you to share a link back to this post. Thank you for joining the linky party!
Oh wow, Denise! I would be right there with you turning those lights out! Glad you got it the third time. The second one I could live with, the first one…UGH! But, you can cut it in squares and make a pieced backing for a smaller quilt.
I saved both. The second can be used on a smaller quilt and the first, I could stitch a seam down the fabric to close up my mishap or smaller projects.
Sorry to had so much trouble with your measuring. Sometimes it feels that you can’t get things right. Glad it worked eventually
Lol, exactly. It was one of those days,
