WIP Wednesday

Because I have been working my butt off, I decided I should share.

My parents commissioned a quilt for their bed, and it has been such a fun project. Giant Churn Dash! (tutorial can be found her at Elvy Crafts)
24" blocks are awesome folks!! Seriously, love them! Esp when they are blocks you are used to seeing smaller scale.

24.5" churn dash compared with a 6.5" block

For an oversized queen quilt I made 16 blocks, they went together so quickly!

I quickly realized my design wall would be useless for this project.

Floor space was hard enough to come by.
{Rows ready to sew together.}

It got more tedious when I was pinning and matching up points, and sewing the 96" long stretches joining the rows together. But it was awesome to have the quilt top come together so quickly!

I added a little 2.5" border around the outside, to give it a little more size in case of shrinkage.

I'm glad we'll be sending this to a quilter, I don't think my straight lines would really do it justice.

My design wall couldn't accommodate the size.

Of course my adorable little sewing buddy is always hanging around, she had to join me in pressing today.

"See mama, just like you."

And I have 34 to get her Sparkle Punch quilt done! I can't believe she's going to be 3!
I need to sew on the 2nd star points, then go back to the tedious process of trimming then pressing and then squaring up all of those squares. I'm glad that little girl is worth it!
