Inch by Inch

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this pretty quilt grow

All it takes is a needle to sew

And the pattern that I found

My apologies to Dave Mallett who wrote "The Garden Song" in 1975, which begins in the manner! But, inch by inch and row by row is such an apt description of putting a quilt together!

I started working on this quilt just over a week ago. I wouldn't say it is my new obsession....but I have spent a good deal of time with it. Each time I finish a section I want to move on with the next section just to see how it will work. 

Here is a link to the post I put up on Feb. 21 that shows my first step in piecing the quilt. And, here is what the pieces look like now:

I think one of the greater challenges will come when I have to sew the 8 sections together. But, I still have a way to go before I get to that stage!
