I'm finally making progress on Natalie's quilt. I no longer want to give up on it and throw the whole thing into the trash. Well. I probably wouldn't do that now that fabric costs about $13 a yard!
I got all the blocks trimmed over the weekend. That was fun. (She said sarcastically!) The 5" ruler I bought last week was the perfect tool for this job.
It took a while to get through the whole stack .....
..... and look how much fabric was wasted! Yikes! Remember I just mentioned above what fabric costs these days? This is so sad.
I know some quilters use their scraps to stuff dog beds, so I'm going to find someone who can use them.
I spent the entire day sewing today, and got all the rows made .....
..... so, on to sashing now. I wonder if I'll be able to make my April goal (which was also my March goal!) With four days left, I'm hopeful. For a while there this was feeling a lot more like work than fun, but I'm starting to love this quilt!

Isn't that fun?! I love the dancing blocks! It is hard to know what to do with the cut off bits like that - stuffing for dog beds is a good idea.
I love this idea! I bought a stack of blocks at a garage sale a while back with the intent of doing this same thing. I like your blocks better though.
You can do it I know you can, just think of the love you will sending with it!!
