Basted!

I have prep'ed all the hexies, squares and triangles for my mahusive Spring Carnival cushion...


I know I could have basted as I went, but it was quite satisfying getting them all finished, and then after a bit of counting, recounting and a bit more basting, finished again.

Now I can really get on with the piecing, and that is going to be fun!

  2. Ooh, that's looking nice. I know what you mean about basting everything all at once. It's one major step being taken and satisfying indeed. Have lots of fun!

  6. Ummm how many exactly have you had to baste. I have to say I did my cushion as I went along which felt like it took for ages. But I couldn't do it in advance because I wanted to hand pick the fabrics as I went along.

  11. I prepped mine in exactly this way, I felt very disciplined and I was able to lay it all out in a "dry run".
    How mahusive? I am aiming for the 28" or maybe bigger if I don't straighten the edges.
