Good morning, afternoon, evening, depending on when you are reading this. Friday after I got done cleaning my house I gathered up my coupons from Joannes and Beverly's and went on a search for some new fabric. I have been thinking of making a stack and whack quilt. You need a busy sort of fabric print to create a good whackin quilt. After i looked at some different fabrics, I finally settled on an african animal print. I reread the instructions for creating these geometric gems, then I went into my sewing room. It was still in the same condition it was when we had my son and his family here. Everything was up on the Cutting table still, so I had to clear that off. When I finally did get it cleared off, I opened the book again, and reread it one more time, just to make sure. These can be confusing if your not sure what you are doing. The last time I made one of these I was with my mom, and we made this really cool quilt and gave it to my sister that I dont really care for. Thats ok, I am now going to try this on my own.
Anyway, I wanted to show you what the fabric looks like before I stack, whack and sew it back together. I had planned on documenting the the whole procedure and show it it you here, but I forget and just got sewing. Sorry about that. I will show you pics of the pieces I made so far though on my next blog. I have to finish sewing them together and them I am going to put them on a design wall so i can see how I want them. Anyway, her is a pic of the fabric before I started cutting.
I Really love this fabric. The quilt is going to be a double sized and I am going to put it for sale for maybe 350.00. I think when you see it finished you will agree that will be a good price. Ok, thats it for now. hope your sunday is going great.
