Just because I haven't blogged doesn't mean I haven't been getting things done. In September I made four more blocks for Josh's Zelda quilt.
The Heart...
the Bow...
the Stopwatch...
and the Sword.
Then, I had other projects to work on so it sat and waited. Again. For a long time. This week was RETREAT, though, so it was time to get some serious sewing done!
I made the Map Piece...
the Key...
the Fairy...
...and the Triforce. Oops! I forgot to take a picture of that one.
Laid out on the floor it was really looking good, and I was getting excited about finishing.
Since each block was a different size, putting them together was a challenge. I divided the blocks into columns then added borders until all the blocks in each column were the same width. Next, I added sashing to make each column the same length. Finally, I added sashing between the columns and added the borders.
Now on to making the backing and quilting it. I may just finish it this year!
(I'm kind of looking forward to making something with a pattern after this so there isn't so much of that Dreaded Math involved!)

Sandy, that turned out great! I didn't realize that this was actually pictures of things. I was thinking it was more like minecraft where only the kids know what's going on. You did good on this one. You really have been accomplishing a lot lately.
This 80s NES kid says: "that is so radical"!
