Progress

I'm making progress on my I Spy quilt. Kind of. With all the squares spread out (individually-not sewn together) the squares completely covered my dining room table. That is SO not the case anymore. But I'll get to that later. first I started out by sewing all the squares into doubles(two squares together). Then after sewing my doubles, I began making quadruples (two doubles together-you'll have to forgive me this is the only way I know how to describe the progression).
Added all these pics of my quadruples bc I think the fabric is just so cute.








After making my quadruples, I sewed my quadruples together-4 each-horizontally-into strips. (Dang, wish I took more pictures. Feel like I am totally not making any sense.)

Then I sewed the strips together. I off centered the strips onto each other, mainly because even though all the squares turned in were supposed to be 4x4 inch squares, some were still a little off and the seams weren't matching perfectly. Plus I wanted a little bit of a non traditional style/design. This is what I ended up with....




I still have about 60 individual squares left that I need to add, but as you can see this is definately NOT going to make as big as a quilt as I thought it would (I thought I'd at least have a twin size quilt when all was said and done). I know I can add more squares to make it bigger, but I don't think I will. I kind of like that it might just be a nice "throw" blanket. I also still have to add a border and the back side and so on and so on. And yes I am still going to turn it in to have machine quilted over the top. I think that will help it last longer. So yea, there you have it, my progress. Hopefully, after spending a few days in Phoenix with my Aunt, I'll be able to present a fully finished quilt-minus the machine quilting over the top.
