I have entered the Crazy Quilting world!
I finished my first block today and learned a few things along the way!
I learned a few do's and don't s!
DO - wash and iron your fabric before you start - even though you're itching to get going
DO - overlap your pieces by a bit more until you get better at you appliqué stitch
DO - practice your appliqué stitch
DO - wait until the end to stitch the finished size border
DON'T - trim your fabric right at the finished size -oops
DO - keep your language clean around the children
DO - remember this is a hobby for the pure joy of it
DO - remember there are no rules
DON'T - let the cat or son "help" while you stitch
I think I'll try the flip and stitch method next!
Also here's a sneak peek at the next craft I'm trying my hand at.
