slow progress. Thats why it's called a WISP!

well, i have finally put the strips together for MIL's quilt. There are 26 long pieces consisting of 15 and 17 rectangles.
and there you have my first mistake. Both row 1 and row 2 have an odd number of rectangles, instead of one even, one odd. Oh well. My plan is to lay it out and then just take a rectangle off each of the 17 long strips. XfingersX that will work.

I hope to press the seams tonight if i can get the kids into bed at a reasonable hour, and then lay it out on the loungeroom floor. I'll do pics then.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that i have been sewing. it has only taken me 9 months to get this far. 3 months until desired deliery date - and still the strips need to be sewn together, it needs to be sandwhiched and pinned then quilted and binded. Still think this timeline might be a little ambitious.
