I am out of thread
March 11, 2008
2000 meters of white thread later, I finished the top.
It definitely needs to be pressed, but there it is. Phew.

Wow! I am so impressed! You made it awfully quickly and with little experience, not sure many could achieve that!

That's absolutely phenomenal, in a way that makes me want to learn to sew. I am in love.

It is gorgeous.
(And somehow this is not what I expected the pattern to look like when pieced together. What a surprise!)

This is absolutely fabulously gorgeous. I don't sew - heck, I just started knitting 6 months ago! - but this makes me want to go steal my mom's sewing machine and figure it out. Thanks for sharing with the world.

Erin, It's a beauty. You're almost there to having a finished quilt. Cannot wait to see the final quilt. How is your wrist doing? I've been knitting more often and wonder if it has healed. It will but will take so time.
Posted by: Sandy | March 11, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Yay! Great job, this is so exciting! I love seeing how it's all coming together.
Posted by: Karen | March 11, 2008 at 11:10 AM
It looks great! And it does look random in a very naturally talented sort of way.
Posted by: Andrea | March 11, 2008 at 11:17 AM
