Welcome back to the QAL.  How are things going with fabric cutting and sorting?  Let’s tackle the block piecing.  I will say it again I love to chain piece and basically create an assembly line while working.  As a mom, I only have so much time.

If you don’t like my method, that’s okay.  Do what is best for you.  I want you to enjoy the process of making and creating this quilt.

I took my squares and made them into stacks.  It lets me play around with the contrast and determine if I need to change something.

An epic piecing session happened this week brought to you by coffee and Netflix.  I dug deep and went to some cheesy romance moves.  Started with How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days then progressed to Top Gun.   The hum of the machine did not drown out Highway to the Danger Zone.

I aced piecing my blocks and moved on to pressing.  Check Instagram or Facebook this week to see some the finished blocks.
