It has been at least 25 years, but last night at appx 8:25 pm I sewed the last seam on my GMFG quilt top. I retired about 10 months ago and decided to attack those unfinished projects. This is one I often took on road trips. At home I sewed by machine, on the road I sewed by hand. Mine is 2" on the edge and 3 1/2" across. I use a plastic template and I think I cut 1 at a time. - So long ago. - I remember using a rotery cutter, because that is when I bought my first one and my mat. The top and bottem edge seemed too pointed so I did half blocks and made it straight. I havn't decided how to I will finish the edge. The indidvidule blocks measure 16". My next one will have smaller blocks and won't take 25 years. -------- Notice the brown one in the back of the picture. It is posted on a previous page. Juliasb is my sister and a generous one. It wasn't even my birthday or a special occation, but she gave it to me and I do love it.
