I'm making slow and sure progress on cutting out pieces for my aviatrix medallion quilt by
Elizabeth Hartman at Oh, Fransson! In fact, tonight I hit a milestone -- I finished cutting out all (8 million) pieces out of the 20 coloured fat quarters that are required...and this thing has templates! My grandmother has this theory that I seek out new projects based on how much I will be challenged by them. Like it needs to be wicked hard for me even to be interested. Maybe she's right. I mean, the Aviatrix Medallion is so complicated you have to make a legend for all your fabrics.
|
See? Here's my legend. You are supposed to glue the fabric squares on the sheet but I don't have glue....so scotch tape to the rescue! |
Here is a delicious rainbowy-goodness look at what the cut up fabric looks like all ready to go for the various borders.
|
Looking at those delicious colours makes me super happy. |
To keep everything adequately organized I am putting each border into a separate Ziploc bag...there are 6 borders in total - then, they all go in a bin so it stays together. I'm not too far into this but I have a deep, sneaking suspicion that things could get mixed up in a heartbeat if there was no system.
|
These are all the pieces for border 6 - in order of how the legend goes. There's NO way I'm going to accidentally sew the wrong colours together |
And here are all my pieces and my bin with all my colours cut and ready to go. All I need to do is cut out the neutral shades of grey and I will be good to get to sewing with this one!
|
Now, to just put this all back in the bin and I'm ready to roll! |
Not gonna lie people, I'm pretty stoked about this one!
