It's all leftovers of other quilts. The center strip is leftover ends from my Challenge Quilt, and the 4 side strips are leftovers of the Old Red Barn quilt along.
I never did get my design wall back up after moving. I usually can get away with the floor or ironing board, but I used my pile o' batting this time.
One thing that I've started doing is journaling my quilt progress in a sketch book with heavy-duty paper. For whatever reason, it really motivates me!
You can see a rough drawing of the quilt I had in mind, my math and my notes. Then I dated my progress. I'll have to add that I blogged about it on the 21st. :) I'm also planning to get a hard copy of the finish quilt and taping it to the other side. Sorta like a scrapbook?
Here's it being ready to be pinned.
I started getting a feeling that something was off...
...but I didn't figure it out until tonight and actually measured both sides. One is 46.5" long, the other is 45". Oops!
I realize what I did wrong when I was trimming the quilt, but too late now. Since I have a small fabric fold in the backing too, I'll just go ahead and keep it for the baby. :)
A great way to use leftover bits of other projects!
