Winnie the Pooh Quilt ALong

June 8: Day 1.   Pull your fabrics

• The pattern gives you measurements for the background and binding
• For Pooh – I had a 9″ piece, Width of fabric of the yellow.  This was enough, until I cut the largest piece in half … So now my Winnie has a line in his forehead. If you are afraid of making mistakes, make sure you have more than 1/3 of a yard of the yellow.
• For Piglet – I had a fat quarter of the light pink, with lots left over.
• I’ll give you approximate amounts for Tigger & Eeyore, once I’m to that stage.
• For the rest of the fabrics, I just raided my scraps …

This Quilt Along is being broken into small steps.  I’m planning for approximately half an hour each day.  Some days it may be a bit less, others a bit more. But that is the plan.

That’s it for today … just pulling your fabrics.

Piecing:

I’m participating in a blog hop later this month (June 22 – 25) and I’ve started that project … which will be a secret until I share it on the Blog Hop.

There’s also a request for a few more masks – so I need to work on that …

Quilting:

I’ve sandwiched what was originally going to be a baby quilt – until I changed my mind and finished the elephant quilt (see HERE)… and hopefully the no-longer for the baby quilt will go under my needle SOON!

Stitchin’ Time

I am aiming for 30 minutes/day – at least!  I switched from 15 minutes / day to 30 minutes/day in April!

• 15 minute days:  January – May:  151 / 152
• 30 min days/  June:  7 / 7
• Total days in 2020: 158/ 159
• Percentage = 99% 

For more Stitchin’ Time, you can check out Kate’s blog: Life in Pieces

 

I revised my PHD in 2020 and added 6 more UFOs to the list.  So, I’m hoping that I’ll get them done!

 

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!

Happy Quilting!
