Cutting & A Little Piecing FINALLY!

Hello!  :)

I finally got back to working on my SKOW quilt! Yea! I had all the blocks appliqued and stitched. I finally sat down and trimmed them all to size.


While I was cutting them down to size I realized that my "sewing" block was missing something.


I had forgotten to add the 3 mini quilt blocks at the bottom of the block. So I got the fabrics cut and sewed them together. Now my "sewing" block is complete!  :)


Next I finally cut most of the fabric for the remainder of the quilt. I say 'most' because I'm going to do a little something different with the outer borders.  ;)  I also still need to cut the binding. Here are the strips and blocks . . .


Here's another view of all those strips and blocks . . . 


I'm hoping to start sewing them all together with those appliqued blocks tonight. Wish me luck!  :)

Until next time . . .
