Today Julia and I stayed home. Cartoons entertained her part of the time. Other attempts at entertaining her included the train set and filling the sink with bubbles. Luckily she also enjoyed a long nap. While she was doing all this, I was sewing myself into infinity.
The school quilt is coming along. I finished the blocks and stitched them into strips. Then I stitched the strips into this big square. If you don't quilt, hopefully it looks pretty good already.
If you do know about quilting, you may notice my next challenge, to tidy the edges into something looking like a border. My earlier decision to go for a relaxed sashing format has now turned out a need to tidy the edges where some strips came out bigger or smaller. Maybe I would have done it differently; but now that I am at this intersection of sewing, I'm not very concerned about it. Since the sashing does look somewhat like sashing from this distance, the border should end up looking like a border from this distance also. And all of this will only improve when the final quilting stitching is added.
