quilting update!
so, last weekend i didn't get as far as i'd hoped. i wanted to finish the entire front piece last weekend, but i'm not quite there: i have all the tiles sewn into rows except for the three oversize pieces. i didn't measure them, so i have to lay them side-by-side with a normal column/row and figure out where the seam needs to go. so there's those three pieces, and then of course i have to actually sew the columns (and the top row) together.
so i need to do that this coming weekend.
but my original plan for this weekend was to start - or at least plan for - the batting, backing and border. i don't have the material for those yet, and it would be great if i could get that before this weekend, so i'm all ready to start. but i don't have clue one about what kind of material to get, or how much i'll need, or even what colour i want. so i need to do that before i buy the material, and i need to buy the material before i can actually work with it. i have this weekend, and then next weekend cait is coming to visit, and the weekend after that is the weekend before school starts, on the 23rd. so..... i'm totally screwed.
