cuzco update

It's been a long time since I updated you on the progress of my Cuzco stained glass quilt.  The last post was back in June when I said I'd finished all the blocks.  I had, but I decided to double the size of the quilt and so made all the blocks again.  I finished them during a guild meeting in the summer and they've sat waiting for me ever since.



It was high time I did something with them, I was sick of moving them from cutting table to ironing board to sofa and back again!  I had the house to myself last Saturday so I set myself up on the dining room table and spread the blocks out on the living room floor (it's open plan, I can't see through walls).


Time for sashing!


All sashed and rows sewn together.  Now I have to square it up (it's nowhere near square or even at all!), then add the wide borders.  I'm really nervous about this step as I really don't know how to go about squaring it up.  It's a twin sized quilt (I think!), though to me that means a single bed quilt.  I'm determined not to let this sit for another 4 months, so watch this space.

Stained Glass Cuzco

Still searching for a name - Windows of Peru?  Peruvian Leaded Lights?  I am CRAP at this quilt naming thing.

The quilt is from the Stained Glass QAL of 2010, the fabric is Kate Spain's Cuzco.  Any ideas?



And yes, I did finish piecing all the blocks... sashing next!
