Okay, so it is a secret quilt, but obviously not to the one reader of this blog (ie. me).
I started piecing this together last night and actually got 75% of the way through the front panel. Today I've managed to finish the front and back panels, layer the quilt, baste it, and now I'm 50% through sewing all the layers together.
I'm using a technique called "stippling", which basically means I make a bunch of curvy lines that never cross (or at least almost never cross). Once the quilt is washed the curvy lines will help it take on a cozy, wrinkled look.
So all in all I'm really proud of myself and this quilt. I still have the binding to deal with though, which that seems to be my weakest skill, but considering I've done better on this quilt than I thought I would I'm hoping this is the breaking point where I actually sew the binding like I know what I'm doing...!!
