I've been doing my usual - cut a bit, sew a bit, change mind, redesign, cut some more, order some more fabric, sew a bit, realise that I should have worked out the quilt maths beforehand, cut loads more, sew wheens* more, lay it out to finally work out the design, change my mind, stop working in a huff.. you know, you all do it, right? Am I right? I'll get my coat!
So here's where I'm at....
one line of pp'd lyrics done
 |
| measures about 60 inches long by 5 1/2 inches high |
Initial plans to incorporate 4 lines of lyrics as part of the heart....
Changed to having 2 lines of lyrics frame the heart top and bottom and another heart within the heart, kind of like this...
So I've sewn together four rows out of 16 and finally worked out what it's actually going to look like (probably)
Only three weeks to finish it off - given that each pp letter takes me a day and I have 12 to go, I'll be cutting it fine I think. I'm now realising how much I got done when the wee man napped in the afternoon #memories. Wish me luck!

Wow you are really going for it with all those letters. It's going to be a very special quilt. Good luck with your deadline.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't even manage to complete five of these letters before getting irritated, so I think you are doing great! It looks amazing, largely due I'm sure to the massive amount of brainpower you have invested in it :) So with you about the afternoon naps xx
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing, but all those letters would make me nuts! You will have a real beauty when finished though! Good job, Moira!
ReplyDeletegood to see you back blogging. Paper piecing still not tried but it has worked so well with your letters
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Moira you have done loads! Looking great x
ReplyDeleteOoh this is looking very interesting- I had only seem the texty bit. You like making HSTs then? I've got some you can do after you've finished this if you like? HATE THEM, love the term Trudification though, stealing it! Good luck finishing it in time! It means I'll get to see it before it goes away too, yey.
ReplyDelete*waving my pompoms... go mo!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI wish you lots of luck and long days! Di x
