baby quilt progress.

I woke up Wednesday morning and decided it was time to finish this quilt! I started it right before Get To Work Book started shipping and then obviously had to take a break for a bit. But soon I'll be shipping GTWB again and so it was time to clear it off my desk. Plus, I'm super excited to see the two quilts (here's Ellerie's) side-by-side.

Ellerie says "oh for baby seester?" whenever she sees me working on it and then I have to take a quick break while my heart bursts. Making progress though! Just the binding left to go which is usually pretty quick for me.

ps. here's a post about how I like to select fabrics.

    On that post about fabrics you talk about matching fabrics and holding grand babies… My mom volunteers for an organization at her church that sews dresses to send to little girls in their mission schools in Africa. Her job? Matching patterns so that the smaller pieces of fabric donated aren’t wasted. She also holds my son. Keep the dream alive, Elise! 🙂

    So lovely! After you posted your first triangle quilt, I made one for my son. (Yay!) However, I messed up pressing the seam allowances on the back side. Are they all pressed open??? All pressed one direction??? Ugh. My quilt isn’t ruined and thankfully the seams are all hidden inside! Haha.
    From one of your pics of this quilt, it looks like you pressed the seam allowances of each row of triangles one direction, and then once the rows were sewn together you press the long seam allowances open. Right? Also, did you not pre-wash your fabrics? Or wash both pre-cutting and after it was quilted? Thanks for helping a girl out! Much love.
