OMG October goal: play mat


https://www.elmstreetquilts.com/2018/10/one-monthly-goal-october-goal-setting.html


My goal is to finish the play-mat for my twin grandchildren expected in December. Since yesterday it looks like this:


These are all six inch squares; some plain fabric but also HSTs and hourglass blocks. I'm going to use a double layer of wadding and back it with a sturdy curtain fabric from Ikea. (Fingers crossed the fabrics all shrink at the same rate!)

I shall be keeping the quilting simple on this one: straight lines following a quarter of an inch away from the seams, and continuing the diagonal seams across the plain squares. When it's finished and handed over to the parents I'll show the whole thing! I hope before the end of October!

Happy sewing
