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!
This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a great pattern and I love the fabrics.
DeleteThis is and will be gorgeous! So far, so good!
ReplyDeleteI love The Garden Song and remember when John Denver sang it on The Muppet Show. The world would certainly be a better place if the Muppets, the Fraggles, and Jim Henson could soothe everyone's heart.
Hugs!
The Muppets lived life as we all should!
