I ended up bagging each individual block separately, as I was anticipating a bit of a muddle and continual need to re-lay the whole lot out if I wasn't completely organised.
Whilst listening to my two buddies, Rhonda and Cindy chatting away on the latest Quilter In The Gap podcast (so funny!), I cut all the block sashing too, so I am now ready to start the sewing at last.
One thing I must say, cutting up on the kitchen worktop was so much better than hunching over the dining table. OK so you are all saying 'yes obviously, didn't you know?', but I don't think I have ever had to cut so many pieces in one session, and I am so pleased I thought of it before rather than after!

The sun is shining, and I suspect a stroll to get the paper will be in order shortly; Spring is in the air, happy Sunday everyone x
Love your bits all laid out! Cant believe you got all the cutting done in one night too... wonderwoman you...lol
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be beautiful Hadley! Love all the pink. Hope to get my hands on one of those magazines- wish it were available here! Happy Sunday!

Looking good...and I had never though of using the kitchen worktop, so thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great--i love the colors. It is going on my 'someday' list. I just can't do it right now.... (she says as she starts to think what material could be used.)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, go you on the cutting, it looks fab! I did mine in a oner too, in the manner of 'I've started so I'll finish', and now that you've done all that, the sewing should be quick for you :o)
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me tres happy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a rush comment, heading to airport to pick up Dimi but love the stained glass looks great! Cannot wait for my copy of the mag from our local mag shop!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have had a lovely day. Cutting at the kitchen counter is a far better, I do it whenever possible. Your stained quilt will be wonderful, I have to get on with my cutting too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the new quilt layout and all the pink.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that magazine. I'll have to see if I can get a copy.
Stained looks lovely and now I have a new magazine I need to buy!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good! I guess you will be finished tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteModern quilter?! I'm so behind on the times! I'm going to have to go pick that up!
ReplyDeleteAnd as always, your layout looks fab, Hads!
Another magazine I'm going to have to get my hands on! (my husband will love you Hadley!!)
ReplyDeletePS How do you number your comments??

I have tried to find that magazine but no luck so far. Might try a bigger town this week. Your cutting out laid out looks great. Di xo
ReplyDeleteLove teh fabrics for Stained quilt. It took me three goes to do mine!
ReplyDeleteYou are a SMARTT one, aren't you! (the word on all the plastic bags!) looks like a great mag too!
ReplyDeleteFab layout for the stained glass, i'm itching to get mine started
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous girl! Good that you found a way to cope with all the cutting! Can't wait to get my hands on that mag! Jxo
ReplyDeleteordered my subscription today. Looks great and the stained glass looks wonderful. I always cut on my workbench in the kitchen...the only way to go.
ReplyDeleteI love your stained glass lay out. I wish my kitchen had enough work surface to use as a cutting area. Perhaps if I get a new kitchen I can put in a request!!
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to cut on the kitchen work surface. But then I like to do my cutting on the floor - in front of the tv. A sewing room may well be wasted on me - then again maybe not. That mag looks almost as yummy as your quilt in progress!
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I got a breakfast bar when I redid the kitchen was so I could cut my fabric there!! (And so I had somewhere to eat that wasn't my lap/sitting on the floor with my plate on the coffee table, obviously!) I love your Stained fabric and am impressed you only missed one piece!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that the sun is shining at your end, very wet and muggy down here. I love the colours that you are using in the stained glass quilt can't wait to see it pieced.
ReplyDeleteWell done, woman! I'm stil only about half way through my cutting..and I've got no idea which bits I've cut and which not...great mag too, we know famous people! x
ReplyDeleteI wish I had space to cut in a standing position. As it is, I do all of my cutting on the floor.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one pink quilt. Good idea on bagging each block and labeling.
Oh you make me tired just reading what you actually do! Off to buy the mag this morning. Thanks for the tip. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about the magazine. I just purchased a subscription and can't wait to get my hands on it. Feel free to share any other magazines you find!
