Emily's Quilt...Chapter 2 and a half!!

...in which I finish the centre piece!! Yay!!! This is really just an "add-on" post to yesterday's...as I ran out of time to finish it off...So this morning on managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing...

...As I was joining the rows together I found it easier to manage by rolling the fabric and pinning...this way it was easier to manoeuvre through the sewing machine...
I know the finished item is promised to my daughter...but I am loving the colours in this one...so vibrant and "spring-like"...Next step is edging...and then I need to read and learn how to layer my quilt...oh and buy the materials needed...batting and backing...

Plus I have now got together a pack of fabrics ready to start a quilt for my son...I am hoping he will like the colours and patterns I have chosen...I am toying with a hexagon quilt...like this one that my sister in-law is currently making...
All of the above materials were from Kate's shop M is for Make...aren't they fabulous!?! Well that's all on the quilting front so far...next up...side and top panels...keep watching and reading...

    The next bit is no where near as hard as you would expect! The hardest bit it getting all your layers lined up and square!
