Embroidery 101 Quilt top

I choose to sew the quilt top from the  Quilt Along that I participated at Clover & Violet for the Friday Night Sew-In.  As a beginner and my first experience to sew a quilt, I find it very difficult , especially when there are few of my blocks are not in the same size.  


 Earlier  I choose to follow the design recommended by Janelle by adding a 2 " sashing with a small square....I did that, but it did not turn out right.  From the picture below you can see clearly that the sashing is not in line with the block...not satisfied with the result, I ripped open and stiched the sashing without the small square.


And the result ... my first quilt top!! 



And below is how it looks on my queen size bed...




Happy Sewing!!!

WiP

These are some of my Work in Progress that need to finish before end of this October month. 

First is the Embroidery 101: Stitch & Quilt Along ...to sew the quilt top...


Secondly is the Sunburst Granny Square Afghan crochet Along... for my queen size bed.  I need 120 squares and currently I've only crocheted  82 squares ... so I need another 38 pieces to go.


Third is the Yo Yos Along which I need another 850 pieces ... (which I'm not sure whether I can make it )


Fourth is the crochet Baby Cardigan which I've put aside for sometime now since I've run out of yarn... I've bought the yarn yesterday... but yet to find the time for it since I already have three other projects to finish.



I am sharing this at WiP Wednesday

 

Happy Crocheting and Sewing!!
