A quick post before I go to bed - I am wiped out tonight.
I told you yesterday that I was making a texan braid, the pattern of which came from one of Bonnie Hunter's books (I forget which).
I've cut enough strips to make the quilt.
There's just one problem - I'm really not enjoying making it. It's not an easy quilt to piece. It's not complicated, more cumbersome. Not easy to chain piece.
Still I'm going to finish it because after I laid it out on the board, I really like the look of it.

It's coming along well. Just cumbersome.
How was your day? I don't know where mine went! They fly by at the moment!
Have a lovely one,

You are doing great with it, though, in spite of not really enjoying it. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteHi Carole,
DeleteI think I've realised I'm a lazy quilter. I don't want to wrestle with big strips of things. All a bit too hard!
But I'm loving the look of it so I'll perservere!
Thanks again
This looks great but am I seeing correctly, are those Y seams to be joined???
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteYes, eventually they will be joined, but I have to make each strip long enough. I've just laid it out there so I could see if I liked it. You have to cut each side off to make it a straight edge and then piece the rows together, but I have a LOT more sewing to do before I am at that stage.
Thanks again!
