Learning to Quilt! Part 2
Yesterday I made a little more progress on my first quilt. My generous friend and neighbor, Ms. B., once again came to my assistance with offers of leftover batting, as well as several fabric choices for the backing. My goal for the day was to cut and sew the previously-selected border, which I successfully accomplished.
Having completed that part of the project (and with zero glitches!), I forged ahead and cut the batting. For some reason, I had a really hard time wrapping my head around that part. It was a larger piece of fabric, and I am accustomed to working with 4-5 yard lengths when sewing a garment. But I had to get one edge straight and square before I could begin cutting the appropriate length for the batting, and it took me some time to figure out how to go about it.
But I did get that batting cut out, and now I need to find the time to cut the backing. Soon, I hope!
