It's the middle of winter right now, and has been snowing fairly often, which has resulted in several snow days. What does this mean to me? Well, this means that my mom doesn't have to work since she is a substitute teacher, and can therefore help/teach me how to sew.
So today, I cut out all my squares, rectangles and strips for my quilt and started piecing things together. I will admit that I quite frankly suck at sewing! I bunch the fabric up in a very odd fashion, and really have no idea of what I'm doing. My Mom ended up sewing the quilt while I laid out and pieced everything together. Handing her pieces one at a time until the quilt was mostly done. So, you might say that I engineered and managed the quilt whilst my mom slaved away and did the manual labor.
THANKS MOM!
There are some flaws of course, and those can 100% be blamed on me because that is probably the part I messed up on. Some of the lines don't line up just right, but I figured "what the hell" it is my first quilt, and I don't think Monty will really mind that much.
I still need to iron it out, and put the binding and backing on, but I feel very accomplished that the front is ALL DONE.
