Dream On

Having a new sewing machine has not come without its trials and tribulations (although I am not complaining!).  I feel like I am learning to sew all over again.  Of course I do have the advantage of knowing just what a 1/4 inch seam is supposed to look like and that seams lie flat, not wrinkly and bunched up.  Right?


Spending time reading the Manual has come in very handy.  Eventually.

I have decided to jump into the deep end with my new sewing machine, and have started another quilt project.  I have cut into a Dream On Layer Cake.  I am intrigued to see just how far I can stretch one layer cake.


I have cut up the entire layer cake.  Each 10 inch square has been cut into nine 3 inch squares, and then paired with a white square.


I have sewn the Dream On squares (alternating with a white Kona Cotton square) together into rows.   Hopefully the rows will sew together without too much difficulty.  There are many seams to match!
