This is a total procrastination post! I'm supposed to be doing my school work right now but instead I'm writing a blog post!
I'm currently in school for my Masters! I also work all the time. It really doesn't need anytime for my crafting hence the reason for only working on my crafts during the weekend and at night (if I have time). Well every morning (except weekends) I do my school work at Starbucks.
So right now, I should be writing my final paper for my class but instead I'm writing my blog post at Starbucks.
This blog post will talk about all the work I've done since my last blog post!
Last time I wrote a post, I was working on my Hashtag quilt. I believe I needed 12 blocks? before I can start putting my rows together. Well I was finally able to get all 30 blocks together and even add my sashing!
The outer border have not been added yet because I'm waiting for the fabric to come in! As mentioned in my last post the fabric used is from the Sweet Life collection by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics!
When my fabric comes in, I'm going to do a "haul" post!
Well now that I'm finished with everything I can possibly do for this soon to be quilt, I started another quilt top! Like I've mentioned, whenever there's a new video from Missouri Star Quilt Company I watch it right away! This allows me to think about what I want to work on next, as well as learn little tips and tricks from Jenny Doan!
The next quilt I decided to work on is the Diamond Dash Quilt! While watching the video, I found that this quilt is going to be quick and definitely easy enough for me to accomplish! Well, I think this quilt top took two weeks to finish but it could've definitely been completed sooner if I didn't have to go to school or work! I decided to use a fabric line called Vintage Sundaes by The Henley Studio for Makower UK. The dark gray solid fabric is Shadow by Free Spirit Fabrics.
Right now the size of this quilt is 79 x 83 inches. It came out two inches larger all around then what was said in the tutorial. I thought this quilt will be a lot smaller than it came out to be! It definitely fits my queen size bed without a problem! Over the weekend, I actually purchased the backing for this quilt! I will post a "haul" post when the fabric comes in! I only look a picture of half the bed because the bed was so messy and it had a bunch of my crafting stuff on the other half! The picture was taken before I added the top and bottom borders. I wanted to know what it looked like!
I know that some parts of the quilt top has some puckering but I'm hoping it won't be so noticeable once I quilt it and wash it. Hopefully everything works out!
I absolutely loved making this quilt! It was definitely super quick and I loved that I can be random with what fabric went next to each other! I should've taken picture of the fabric up close but it totally slipped my mind. The picture below was taken when I was adding the sashing. By the way, most picture I take of my work is on the bed because sadly, I don't have a lot of space. The bed is the biggest space I have, besides the railing for the stairs.
Well this is all the updates I have for now! I can't wait until I have more to write about! I should really get back to my paper now!
Until next time!
