We already had all the patches sewn on to the fabric so now it was time to start sewing the squares together. This was the tricky part. Have I mentioned I've never made a quilt before and sewing a straight line seems impossible to me sometimes.
The guy was at it again. He made a thingy (yes that's the technical term) so that I had a surface the same height as the sewing machine to make it easier to sew the longer strips together with. Thank God for the guy.
Saturday I spent most of the day sewing together the squares for the top half of the blanket.
Then I cut out the blue line and attached it to the top half of the blanket.
Tim was really surprised when he found out the top half was done.
Sunday went a little quicker. Now that I had a routine down and knew what I was doing (or so I made it seem I did). I finished sewing the bottom squares together.
I'm REALLY surprised how well it's coming together seeing as I've never made a quilt before and like I said - sometimes sewing a straight line is tough for me. I also really don't think Tim realized just how much work was involved in this when he said "Oh yeah my wife can make a quilt!"
