Missy's Quilt

Hi friends!
One corner done!
At this rate it may take me a year.
I have been cutting and sewing 2 1/2 inch pieces together.
Long way to go to get just the four corners.
Sewed that corner together and make the next and try to fill in between.
Wish me luck.

Missy's quilt

Hi friends!
I have been sewing whites together for each corner of the stars and sewing more borders together all weekend.
This will give you some idea of how big it will be when I finish. If it gets to big I could leave off the second row of 4 patches in the border.
But I want it big enough to show off the star !
Not sewed together yet because i want to make all four corner parts and then the ones on each side.
Lots of little four patch's!
I may never tackle a quilt with this many small bits again!

Missy's

Hi friends!
This is defiantly going to be one of a kind.
Going to make the corners first so that I can figure out how big to make them!
This will make it big! It started out to look like this!
And it does in a way! But adding the big t-shirt will make it bigger all over.
This will be Missy's quilt for sure, with her shirts and t-shirts in it.
But this is the pattern I am going by, kind of!
Adding these into the border. I'm not sure if I bought this fabric for our Lola Rose's quilt or not. I know she would stop and stare at the t.v. if a horse was on it and I added some horses into her's because of that.
We lost her and her family nearly a year and a half ago!

Bunch's of these to.
Going to work on the main part of the quilt today are tomorrow.

Working on Missy's

Hi Friends!
Still have lots to do but started sewing some border mixed in with the white that goes in the main part of the quilt.
The border is a double row with a white strip in between of these four patch's.
It will takes a lot for a king sized quilt..
The white here is for the star points in the main part .
Right on the right side and will take quite a few!
lots to go all over the quilt!
So I had better get to sewing!

Missy's Quilt

Hi friends!
Worked this weekend on the corners of the first t-shirt.
To relief stress! I added some more to the square one to.
Got the  one point working right and the other will be worked on next.
Got the right one done but still need to fix the one on the left.
This is tedious work but then hopefully better !

Missy's Quilt

Hi friends!
Building out from the center, getting the rows of blocks going the way they are suppose to!
I saw one spot that I need to work on before I keep running the rows.
Added some more on to the t-shirt to.
I have been cutting a lot of white for the corners and inside the points of the star.
But I feel like it is starting to grow!
Have a great weekend

Missy's Quilt

Hi Friends!
A jig saw puzzle!
Hopefully this was the hardest part!
Got all my points made !
At least I feel like that is a big part of this quilt.
I need to make some four squares for the border when I just want to do some mindless sewing.
That will be  a lot of four squares!
And lots  and lots of 2 1/2 inch white's.

Missy's Quilt

Hi friends!
I added a strip of squares on top of the second t-shirt. Then I started cutting white 2 1/2 inch squares for the other four white points.
 Then started to lay them out !
I have all the pieces laid out and now just to sew them up!
After this step it should be mostly sewing strips of squares to get enough to cover a king sized bed. Maybe it will get easier!
Have a good weekend
Hugs
