After a couple of days of fiddling the final layout was decided, number/alpha tagged and stacked off of the design wall. This is the photo I used to print for reference just in case I mixed up strips or got confused.
It's a bit unnerving when the parts are off the wall and I kind of hold my breath until they are back together again. What system do you use to keep it all straight? Hope your weekend was enjoyable.
It is beautiful! If I can, I leave it up on the wall during assembly, lots of up & down (for me!). Even still I usually mix up a pair or two.
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt!! I bring the first 2 vertical rows to the machine and sew them and then go back and get one more row at a time and sew it on. I like a photo to double check in case I think I mixed up something. There are times when I have to take the whole thing down so I can use the wall for something else and then I clip the rows together with binder clips at the top and cut up calendar pages for numbers.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is stunning! I sew everything in blocks. How do I keep the blocks organized? Before I start sewing a block, I always take a photo of it on my camera phone. It helps me keep everything straight. I seriously couldn't quilt without my phone (as odd as that sounds).
