I&#8217;m trying to be systematic. Normally I would jump right in, cut a bit, sew a bit and bumble my way through. I did sew two of the centre stars in the beginning &#8211; I just couldn&#8217;t resist. But <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.missrosiesquiltco.com\" >Carrie Nelson<\/a> tells me I need to cut out squares, so squares I am cutting&#8230; Actually I had to take a break. I was starting to be a bit cross-eyed and make mistakes. There are lots of different sizes and it&#8217;s incredibly easy to misread the ruler. The error rate was starting to rise, so I thought it must be time to take a break.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made red quilts before, but never really use brown or beige much at all. I like the combination though. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.modafabrics.com\" >Moda<\/a> <em>Lumiere de Noel <\/em>reds are gorgeous. Rich and strong. They will work well with the beiges and browns. I think I&#8217;m going to love this quilt. Once I don&#8217;t have to cut out any more squares. That isn&#8217;t really my favourite part of making the quilt. I don&#8217;t know if cutting squares is better or worse than basting. I&#8217;m not wild about basting either. It is fairly soothing though &#8211; radio on, cup of tea to hand, systematically working my way through a mountain of fat quarters. I can&#8217;t complain really.<\/p>\n<p>What I really love is piecing. My thought behind doing all the cutting obediently and diligently now, is that afterwards&#8230;well, party time. Undisturbed self indulgence. I can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p>What a lovely afternoon!,<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying yours too!,<\/p>\n<p>Helen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been working on the Opening Day quilt &#8211; well, to be precise, I&#8217;ve been cutting out squares, squares and more squares.
