I am slowly progressing with my San Jose Sharks duvet cover.
The hardest part was actually taking that first step and cutting into the fabric! That is always a bit scary. I didn't really have a specific plan, so am not sure that I have enough fabric, but will just have to wing it and add some "special design features" if I run into trouble.
I started with one side, and so far, so good...
I cut the sheet foundation to 75" square and taped it to the floor to try to control wrinkles. I have sewed down the grey background piece, the striped part and the first black slash. Then I flipped the back piece over and cut away all the extra fabric from underneath. So the grey fabric piled up on the right side will be my next step as I try to fit it on the right side of the sheet.
So time to stop procrastinating and get back to this!!
But speaking of procrastination....try this out....
I won a copy of this book from The Bitchy Stitcher. ...just when I needed a good chuckle about my quilting (or lack of) skills!! Thanks so much Megan!!

I am enjoying seeing this come together - save all your scraps (you may need to piece some to 'make fabric') - I think you are doing a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. The colours are looking just right.
ReplyDeleteIt like seeing this too...interesting Flo
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting and turning out according to your original plan nicely! I can see why it's scary, though, since the cuts are huge!
ReplyDeleteLooks good so far...
