Wow man you do such awesome work. I will have to figure out how to do this so I can make a nice one for my granddaughter. Just beautiful and where do you find the time? You are such a busy lady you are just amazing.
That's gorgeous! How do you do this so fast? Do you use precuts? Cut shapes for each quilt here and there and when you have a block of time stitch it all together? This would take me forever, lol.
Beautiful! squirrelymom do you do the quilting to? My mom makes a lot of quilts, but she never invested in a long arm, so she has someone else quilt and then she sews the binding to finish.

This one was SUPER easy. I used a precut layer cake, cut all the blocks in half on the diagonal, and then sewed 4 triangles together to make the blocks. Then it was just a matter of sewing them together with 2 1/2" strips. It literally took me about 4/5 hours to cut and put together. It doesn't hurt that since the blocks are so large, I only had to make 13 of them. The border is 3 1/2". I sewed that on pretty quick this morning before anyone else got up.
What helps most is that I give myself an hour every morning before everyone gets up to sew. It helps start the day pretty calm, and you can get a lot more done when you're uninterupted. On weekends when everybody sleeps in, I probably get at least 3 hours to myself to sew if I want to.
Ahh. I'm such a sucker and cut all my pieces out by hand for a night or two if I know I'll have a chunk of time to sew on the weekend. I usually catch up on all my bad TV at the same time, so I'm sure that slows me down too Making the top is the fun part for me.

If you're interested in learning, let me know. I'll help wherever I can. lol.
I am very interested in learning for sure. I know you know I am a newer sewer with just a regular machine, a few fancy dancy stitches, but ya if it isn't too awfully difficult I would love to learn. That is very kind of you to help.
