And I finally got this all done for Quilts for Kids. I washed and dried it after this photo was taken and now its all soft and crumply.
This isn't a finish but I'm making good progress! This is half of the rows all pieced together. You can see I didn't press all the seams yet but I will, don't worry. After all 10 rows are together there will be a border of pieced squares and one final 2.5" white border. It will take me a few more days of work, which is going to be interrupted by something else that has a deadline, but I'm going to finish it! Soon!
I was at Target the other day buying a white t-shirt for an unspecified art project for the 5th grader, and I stopped by the dollar area and found these leaves and decided to get them. Yesterday I strung them on thread, with a knot tied in between each leaf to keep them spaced out sort of evenly. I did it in two pieces and used doubled strands of threads. They're tied together in the middle.
I am so excited to be able to link up to Sew & Tell again, it's been a while! Stop by and see what others have finished this week!
