WIP Wednesday
Not much on the go right now that I can show, so this is going to be a quick post today...
I've started sewing together the Amy Butler HST quilt and it's going okay.
Now by okay what I really mean is that I haven't had to remove too many stitches, or misplaced blocks and for the most part things seem to be lining up. For now.
The whole process started with this stack of 5 inch squares...
Then they got stitched to equal size white squares, half square triangle style...
A lot of thread snipping, and now the fun begins, planning the layout.
This was my first layout, I got two rows in and decided that i didn't like it...
So I tried this...
And loved it. I had originally planned on just randomly arranging the blocks but the further along I got it started making me itch. I don't do random very well. So that's when I decided to place them according to colour. I love it.
The sewing together part is almost finished...
I'm almost finished sewing the top...maybe tomorrow.
We'll see, stay tuned...

I love this layout! I also try to do random, but I just cannot seem to master that wonderfully whimsical style. I NEED some kind of order.
