I have been working very hard on the Gryffindor quilt and Nessie has begun her work on the Slytherin quilt. They are shaping up to be pretty darn epic and I can't wait to see more of it come together!
Cutting out the pieces using my new quilting supplies!
All cut out and ready to go!
Plaid pieces sewn together. I folded them to get an idea of what they will look like!
Here we have Nessie cutting out her pieces.
Strips cut down into their smaller pieces for assembly!
I haven't done anything on the Gryffindor quilt since aside from starting to pin together all the tiny strips for sewing. I went to Fabricland on the weekend and bought some more material with my gift cards. A quilting magazine that I picked up during hunting had the cutest lap quilt called "Home at Last" featuring applique houses and hearts. It showed it in rather modern colours, but I've always been a sucker for quilted items taking a log cabin feel to them. I managed to clean out the Christmas clearance section for some great finds!
Here is what I have cut out and laid out to make sure everything works. It was VERY easy to cut out and was done in one evening. It is machine applique with a zigzag stitch. I've attempted one by hand so far as I don't have a zigzag capable machine.
A nice close up of some of the blocks. This will be so nice when it's done!
Have a wonderful week everyone! I look forward to sharing more quilting progress with you this week. I have a hot quilting date with Nessie this week so hopefully we will have more to show you on the house quilt extravaganza!
