Yay ready for quilting!!!

Wow, just the quilting and binding to go!!!
Its been a long road, but were on the home stretch now!!

1st boarder

Yesterday I went and brought the funky fabric for the outer boarder, and tonight I finished off the first boarder.

getting close to the end!!

So finally after two atempts I finished the sashings.  The first time I had them all cut at 2.5 inches, but once it was all sewin together it just looked way to spaced out, so unpicked and trimed them all down and this is what it came out like.

Kinda bummed about how lil the "romantic" fabric is standing out against the white compared to all the other words.  Hopefully once its quilted it will stand out abit more.

And these are 50 of the 70ish 2.5inch squares I need for one of the boarders, still not to sure on what im going to do for the second boarder yet. Guess ill just wait and see how it looks once this is on.

Day 78

So today I sorted out my craft room, and finished the last letter of the last word 'Romantic'. I know its not a great photo & its only day 78, the 100 days isnt over yet but I need the rest of the time to get the sashings and boarders done and then it quilted and the binding on.

The words on the quilt are

excited

crazy

frustrated

party

joy

fun

sing

love

joke

ridiculous

quirky

serious

laugh

cry

romantic

get back to you once all the sashings done!!!

Everything up to day 69

K, so I admit that since day 39ish Ive been abit arrrghh about this project, it just didnt look like it was comeing together like the picture in my head, so I just plodded along letter by letter. But I took the chance today while my wonderfull hubby was at the park with the boys to finish off the letters for "ridiculous" and sew the huge pile of muddeld up letters together.  And well Im actually really happy with how it is looking now that theres more of it and I can get a picture of what it is actually going to look like.

Now just going to do one maybe two more words before I do all the sashing and boarders, and finally quilt it, and I am totally excited about this again.

Sorry the photos arnt the best, had a couple of kids climbing up my legs to compliment my photography skills!!!

up to day 23

Ok, i know I’m really slack at keeping you all informed in the progress. But here’s a pic of everything I’ve got up to day 23!!

I have just been cutting out the letters with steam-a-seam and ironing it onto the white fabric and then sewing them in bulk lots when I have my machine out.  So I also have the words carefree and funny ready to be sewing but have run out of cotton so they’ll have to wait till I can get some more tomorrow!!

Also I’m running low on ideas for words, so any suggestions that can fit into this sentence
I’m in a ………… mood

Let me know

Crazy

Ok, been getting mega agro at the silly computor not letting me rotate the pictures, so bear with my hap hazard all over the show ness!!

Anyway I just love Saturdays word "Crazy" in this awsome crazy clown fabric I brought to make my 2 year old these way fun wiggle pjs!!

And heres a pic of how everything is coming along with the newest letters as well
