Zephyr QAL Week 5: Finish Full Scrap Sets
Hello! I'm back again after a week off from blogging (but not sewing!). I hope everyone has been enjoying sewing their full scrap sets together. I got through all my "almost" fat quarters of blue and managed to use 11 of them up completely! I was not real strict with what was "light" and what was "dark" - they are sorted in the photo below but some of them really could go either way.
I was more choosy with my purple rails, trying to pick out purples that read more blue. I also debated as to whether or not I actually wanted to make the brown rails. The only solution, of course, was to make one set of brown blocks and then lay them out with the blue blocks. After seeing them together, I knew they belonged (and yes, that's the brown fabric from the original Bernie's Mittens quilt!)
I'm enjoying watching everyone's rails come together on Instagram. My mother-in-law is sewing along as well, and she has her whole top completed! She's the one who taught me everything I know about quilting and I love seeing her version of my quilt pattern. She even sent me this picture to show me how I should try and hack the pattern next time I make it (the green is post-it notes, not fabric). If anyone tries this before I get to it, I'd love to see it!
Congratulations to Quilting Sally, who won one of the fabric prize packs for sewing rails in Weeks 3&4. There's no prize drawing this week, but there are still more prizes to come!
