Maggie's Quilt - An Update



As you know, Dan was away this weekend. He was at a Bachelor Party in Baltimore, MD. While daddy's away....mommy quilts. You would think that I am 80 years old. Anyway. I washed and ironed all of my fabrics on Friday night/Saturday morning. Then I cut the fabrics into 5"X41" strips and sewed them together in my pattern. I forgot to photograph that step. Then I cut them into 5" stips the other way. Above is what it looked like before I sewed the strips together. Below is what it looked like after I sewed the strips together.

Now it's on to the backing and batting. I am not sure if I am going to do another panel like this one to make it even bigger yet, so I might wait on the next steps and let this simmer for awhile.
Maggie just woke up from her nap...so I am off to mommy duty....HAPPY MONDAY!!
