Wednesday Working – Starting Labyrinth Quilt

Posted on 03/22/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

The weather here has still been not so good so we’re still doing indoor activities. Last week Heather and I attended a quilting class at the local sewing center and now we’re working on our quilts. The class is a total of three days and so far we’ve done two of them. The final class is in a week. The first step is to cut all the strips which I’ve done. There are a lot of pieces for this one and here they all are stacked and labeled on my cutting table:

That took a long time to do, but now I can start sewing the strips together. The first step is to add some triangles to the ends of some strips:

These are stacks of five for the main block type. I still have some dark strips to add the end triangles to before I can assemble the first five blocks.

That’s it for this week. I hope to have a completed set of blocks by next time. If you need me, I’ll be at the sewing machine.

    Just like LEGO models – sort, stack, assemble! Er, except for that sewing machine thingy 🙂

    It’s nice that you have indoor activities to keep you happy and occupied when the weather is bad. That’s a good rule of life.

    I don’t think I’d have the patience. Have fun and can’t wait to see the finished product.

    I’m confused just looking at that. Kudos to you, Andrew. It must take an engineering brain for this hobby.

    That sure looks like a lot of work, with likely a lot of frustration thrown in. Hope all goes without a hitch.
