I have it now! I have been able to wrap my head around this process now. But I want to break it down to more production type sewing. You know, making lots of the same units at the same time. But of course, there needs to be a final inspection before jumping in with both feet!
I took everything down. Aren't these stars just so precious?
I am using a tray to lay out the block unit assemblies. I am carefully watching the photos and the clue#7 instructions. One of the pictures is upside down as Bonnie explained to us.
Started throwing those units up on the wall. I am 5'6" tall. Design wall is at the top of the wall against the ceiling. I need a two step small ladder to reach the uppermost rows. I have two ladders. One at each end so all I have to do is walk over and up the second ladder. After a while I can reach the wall easily.
I am loving the colors of this mystery. Our Bonnie sure knows what she is doing!
And here is my set-up. I take up the entire livingroom.
Today is sunny but very cold. 19 and a light wind. BRRRRRRRRRRRR! Another perfect day for sewing.
Actually I prefer a more cloudy day as the sunlight sometimes flashes off cars driving by or the reflection from the neighbor's house. It hits me in the eyes when I don't expect it and I get blinded. So cloudy days are my favorite sewing days. A candle lit and something simmering on the stove. UMMMMMMMM!!!

All pressed and ready for assembly.
This is how I started my morning.
This is the side table of my sewing area. Rolling drawers below.

Your blocks look great Subee - I still have both my red and blue string blocks to make and then I can assemble. I also agree that the tiny Ohio stars were just perfect at that size.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! It does require the use of your brain though. In my case I am getting lots of excercise walking back and forth to the computer because I have to keep checking that it's right. No printer.
ReplyDeleteLooking so good! And no pencil boxes were harmed in the making of this quilt, right? : )
ReplyDeleteYep - you have it now! It's just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking great Subee. I'm finding that I realy need to concentrate putting this one together. Don't want any mistakes after all that work!
ReplyDeleteI love your setup and large wall! Orca Bay is going together well, isn't it beautiful!
