Other than a brief visit from Arthur our summer has been off to a fabulous start! I wasn't sure how much sewing time I'd actually get while we were in Maine but with so much swimming and water skiing by afternoon the kids are ready for a little quiet time which gives me a chance to sneak in some sewing:-) After my success with
Murray the Whale I was ready to jump in and make the child sized version of
Oh, Fransson!'s
Preppy the Whale.
There are
lots of pieces to cut and I found the key is to stay organized. It's easy to get confused with so many different sized pieces so I have a post-it marked pile for each component.
Once everything was cut I set up camp on the deck and started chain piecing my way through all those piles... I'm making good progress and only have a few more whales to go. As long as the sun keeps shining I should be done in no time:-)
Oh these are just sooo cute! LOVE them! And LOVE the view from where you are quilting - simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat work. That is such a cute block, and it is looking like it will be great. Not to mention what a gorgeous spot to be quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love these whales!!! And what a view!
ReplyDeleteWhales are great, but your machine piecing outside is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese Preppy whales are looking awesome! You're well organized. Thank you for the tip.
