camwynWorking on a Christmas present quilt for my sister. Cheating mercilessly.
- throw quilt ("for snuggling up under when you're on the couch!") rather than sized to fit her bed (queen? king? I don't know which)
- composed entirely of 80 two-color blocks in exactly the same layout rather than pattern blocks or applique designs
- used 'make eight HST blocks at once with only three cuts!!' instructions to mass-produce pieces in a hurry
- used largest size for which measurements were given to cut down on the amount of time spent ironing the individual seams every time I sewed a piece
- backing the quilt with flannel and not using batting ("it's cozy and snuggly rather than heavy and meant for overlaying your other bedding!") or backing with muslin, so that I don't have to keep three layers from wrinkling rather than two
- OH LOOK STORE BOUGHT BINDING fuck making homemade bias tape anyway
