At the beginning of this project, I don’t think I actually believed that I would ever finish. I think that was fairly evident when I realized I was done with the quilt top, but I hadn’t purchased any backing fabric.
Last week while waiting for my backing fabric to arrive, I pulled out the last shirts I bought at the thrift store. At least a month had passed since I bought them, and I only remembered what one of them looked like.
The top of the “Broken Pieces” quilt is complete. I hung it up on the wall where the paper version used to be to take the photo. It’s pretty cool. When I was just about finished, I realized I didn’t have any backing fabric. Crud! I ordered some at the end of last week and put the quilt top aside. I hope to begin quilting it by the end of this week.
I am nearing the end of sewing the quilt top for the “Broken Pieces” quilt. The picture shows the paper still on my wall. Each time I sew, I begin by pulling down the paper squares I will be working on for the day. What's left on the wall is what's left to sew.
This is my “Broken Pieces” quilt. It is the first quilt I designed. The paper pieces are hanging on the wall of my bedroom. If I did it correctly, the paper version is the size of the finished fabric version. I find myself excited and scared to start sewing. Yesterday, I cut out all of the fabric squares. They are now stacked in my living room waiting for me to begin. One difference between paper quilt and fabric quilt is the color. It’s not going to be black and white.
