Puppy Quilt – Part 3

Before I had taken the quilt off the bed last time I had measured it across, up and down, this side and the next to make sure I had all the measurements I needed.  I then quickly realized it’s probably not going to be as big as I had thought but the only thing I could do is continue on.

I then began cutting my strips on the ScanNCut for the ones that were short.  Once that was completed I sewed them on and then sewed the blocks together in strips.

Once that was done I took a quick measurement or two and began cutting the longer strips.  Now again I used the ScanNCut so I had to make two strips as long as I could and then make one strip shorter.  I did this eight times.  Then I sewed them together and placing the shorter one in the middle.  Once completed I then sewed all the strips together.

Oh dear!  The bottom did not come out very good.  I then began trying to figure out what exactly happened.  Checked my measurements and all strips and blocks are the same.  What could it be?  The only thing I can figure is that there was something either with my tension or my pressure foot.

So now I need to figure out how to fix it or blend it in so that I can get the bottom to look nice.  After much figuring I decided to blend it in and just let it be.  Besides, I’m the artist right?

So now I need to “sandwich” the top, batting, and the back panel and then I can start doing the quilting.

Back to the machine!
