Dear Liza,
I can’t believe that I have actually gotten 140 crazy quilt blocks pieced and embroidered! I finished the last one today while waiting for Cynthia to come visit.
The next step is trimming all 140 blocks so they are EXACTLY the same size so they piece together nicely. In this case, a 6 and a half inch square. Bridgett’s hand-cut template makes this easy to get right.
The procedure is simple enough. Place the template, hold it down, and firmly roll the rotary disc along the edges. That rascal is wicked sharp, so I am being very careful.
And I am making good progress. This afternoon I got 40 blocks cut before my wrist let me know it was time to take a break. I made myself stop. But tomorrow is another day!
I can’t wait to show you what comes next!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
