(Photo: Done with my zigzags for the first three lines )
Hello everyone! What's up for today's project? Well, I decided to make a pause with my punch-in needle for a while because I've "unearthed" another exciting but straining job while I was digging into my little jungle of miscellaneous stuffs neatly piled in our baby crib. I made use of my eldest son's crib as a storage of fabrics and old clothing that can still be useful for whatever comes into my creative mind! Lol!
Materials
I've chosen this beautiful table cover and my old long woolen skirt which I've 'outgrown'.:( Funny guys...I can no longer go back to my size M (that was a decade ago) no matter how hard I try so I better save it before our friendly neighbor notice its idle condition.
The Plan
My plan is to make a quilted blanket this time. I missed doing this.
I managed to cut 30 granny squares for the printed fabric and 20 squares for the marron wool. I still have a pair of it in my closet that I will be dealing with later after am done with the rest.
Old Linen
I made use of my old white linen for the base. It feels cool even during summer while looking at my quilted blanket.:)
How To Make A Straight Line
I used my cutting table to create a straight pattern inorder to make a perfect right angle. You see guys, this is what you should do when you cut the square patterns or when you cut a straight line even with a tape when cutting because the other pair of the scissors can pass down freely while cutting, right?
I used a double-edged tape to make the cloth stable before sewing.
Precautionary Measures
It is best to baste the edgings first and remove the pins before you do the final job with your sewing machine to avoid getting pricked especially when you have small kids. Unexpected accidents could happen guys so take note on this as I've experienced it when my crossstitch needle fell and my youngest son stepped on it that I have to bring him to the hospital to have his toes operated because the needle was broken leaving the other half inside and that it needed to be extracted immediately before it moved to another muscle tissue.
The doctor said that there will be a tendency for the broken needle to go with the flow of the bloodstream. To think that he was only 4 yes old during that time made me so guilty more than anything else hence am now extra careful.
As you can see, I've made three lines on my table. This means that I will be working on them first before I go to the next line.
I don't have a fixed timetable as to when I will have it done. Any wild guess? See I have 30 granny squares for the printed ones making the other part to be its equivalent.
I need to do zigzag on each square which is the main idea of quilting.
*Update"
I submitted my post 13 hours ago while I continued with sewing until I finished eight lines of granny squares at 1:0'Clock AM.
This is all for now but my story does not end here. I still plan to make my quilted blanket more beautiful than what you see now.

Hi Sarimanok! This work is wonderful, you are doing a great job with this quilt, the squares are being very neat, the final result will be incredible ❤️. I like the combination of fabrics: the contrast that the black fabric achieves with the print gives it a very elegant touch 😃.
On the other hand, I recommend that you take the time to make and write your post and once it is finished you publish it and that's it :). We can all forget to mention something and editing it is not a sin, but today I have received 9 notifications that you have mentioned me in your publication and your history says that you have edited this post 14 times. So my suggestion is that you take the time to edit it at ease, no one is rushing you to post. Some curator will find your publication and value it, it is not necessary that you mention me so many times, at some point I find it annoying. But that does not mean that your projects are not amazing, you do an excellent job! All of this is just a little advice 😊.
Keep up the good work. Hope you have a good day ❤️.
Oh my! I am so sorry about that. I have no knowledge that clicking on your name will reflect in your record. I just forgot the exact spelling that I've typed lauraminica but it won't appear on the profile so I kept changing the 'i' to 'e,'.:( Am terribly sorry.
In addition to this, I forgot the theme for this week which opted me to make the necessary changes to fit with the title. I'm really sad about this. I should have left it that way. My bad
No problem! But that's right, every time you edit the post, the people you mentioned are notified again. I just wanted to tell you this, don't worry ❤️. Thank you for actively participating in this community 😃.
