Ducky

I assembled the first set of shapes and played around with a layout. I'll be making this up as I go

Finally starting on this EPP quilt. It makes me feel like a little kid again, playing with geometry blocks at recess

Another night of hand sewing progress! I'll be deciding the next sections as I go and mirroring them around the quilt.

Another round is attached, and my actual pattern blocks arrive today so I can plan out the next sections.

Thank you, pattern blocks! The first set of the next round are assembled. They'll get attached once I make the second set. In the meantime, it looks like a rainbow snowflake 🌈❄️

Most of the reactions today were positive - amusement or amazement or joyful. One woman walked up, leaned in close, sneered, and went "yuck". Rude much? Hand sewing isn't for everyone but you don't have to yuck someone else's yum.

As a side note, it makes my whole day that y'all are enjoying my project. I really do read every reblog comment and tag, and find myself grinning at your responses. Thanks for being here for the ride!

So far this project has taken about 10 months of off-and-on stitching. I prepped all my pieces already, so when I'm out, the quilt is done. I'm using the actual pattern blocks to map out how I want to make the next sections, taking time to try to balance the appearance of each fabric within the quilt and not have two of the same together. It's a slow steady test of my patience. It's not perfect because it is made by human hands. The stitching shows, the corners aren't all perfect, it likely won't lie exactly flat. I love it for that.

Been a minute. My shoulder has been hurting so hand sewing has been limited. This quilt is SO CLOSE to done and I am so ready. The pieces for those open corners are done and ready to attach. I’m low on the remaining pieces so it’ll probably just be one more ring around the edge after the next addition.

My second piece of advice on the subject is to do whatever you can to avoid ending up in places where anyone thinks they need to know whether or not you're a virgin. And if you find yourself in one, you should do whatever you can to get out of there.
