The right top corner of pheasant quilt is
done. It’s almost like I wanted it – almost. The main achievement – I think the
drunken rooster has some character in him. LOL
There is some paper piecing (without paper,
I was creative... or lazy... so I made it all free hand) mixed with appliqué,
and the outcome isn’t bad (or, will be, after quilting).
The main thing I learned with this quilt so
far is – starch is your best friend, especially when working with cotton
sateen. Sateen is floating in all directions, and really hard to work with in
comparison with nice, sturdy cotton. So I just starch, starch and starch again,
each step, and it makes my life so much easier.
Now only three corners left. I set up my
target – to finish the corners until the 5th May, so I can start
quilting. Now I’m curious will I be able to press on to reach the target.
