Phew

While my mom was here she helped me finish Nadine's quilt. I had been sewing as often as possible the last few weeks so it'd be at the point she could help me. And it looks great! I'm so excited with how it turned out.

And this is an actual pieced quilt. It was so much dang work. Every square was supposed to be pieced, but luckily I decided to only piece the pink and black-diamond squares; good thing, too, because even those took me forever. And my brain doesn't understand how to piece it (I'm not good at puzzles, either), so it took me especially longer.

Because I had so many huge gaps between sewing time, I would forget how to put together the pieces. So I made myself a cheat sheet.

"Sew pink first, green second. Got it." And it helped a ton.

I think the pink and black-diamond pieced squares are the best part of the quilt, and I'm fairly proud of myself for doing most of the quilt. Though I'm not sure I'll piece a quilt again for years; at least not with parts that tiny. The bigger squares were much easier.
