[ATTACH=CONFIG]527005[/ATTACH] TADA! now to start on the sides and the best part is the fabric I ordered is here so I can slowly cut the pieces out and sew them one block at a time together. I am very excited as well this puts me near the end. I think I will use the same pieces for both sides just lay them out differently. I hope that works after all it sure is easier a no thinker and drum roll please.. NO APPLIQUE! I have a few things to sew to the tiki hut but cant til its machine quilted first. hate to break the pieces and two don't want to ruin the quilting. wonder if the quilter can actually put the binding on for me? wouldn't that be a wonderful treat! I am just having so much trouble with my hands not sure its a good idea to have me do it. might take 10 yrs!
