First, I want to say: Wow, there is so much cutting to make a quilt and lots of steps. None of them is particularly difficult (so far), but wow, lots and lots of time.
My mom and I worked on sewing the strips together into panels. We did 15 because that is enough finished material to make a picnic blanket (48″ x 60″) which is what I have decided on.
The next step was to iron all the panels flat and then start cutting them perpendicular to the direction of the strips to create strips of squares.
Once I cut all the strips of squares, then I laid them out so that I could make five groups of 24 pieces each.
And here they are ready for the next step.
I’ve decided to get one blanket finished all the way through before doing these last two steps on the rest of the fabric that I have cut.
More to come!

Yep it is a lot of work and time.
