I cannot believe how fast you made this--did you not say "this is the quilt I STARTED last night" ???? Do you eat or sleep???
I bet this quilt did not even put a dent into all your new oriental fabrics either!! Whatcha gonna make next?
I cut most of the fabrics Thursday night but didn't start sewing until around 6 Friday. We had dinner about 7 and I sewed until 10:30 then went back and sewed from 10 - 3 with lunch in the middle. It is a real fast and easy sew, the longest part was figuring out the weave and deciding to make it bigger and which fabrics to add for that. I hope to get the borders on tonight, Sunday night, my DH runs a college group that meets Sunday evenings and so I get to stay home and sew.
I only used a 4 1/2" strip from each of 22 fabrics, so an eighth of a yard. Lots left to do something else with!!!
