Lots of progress on the Skybridge quilt<\/a>.\u00a0 After three days of fairly intense work, all the units are constructed and ready to be fused to the background.\u00a0 And I’m soooo happy with how it looks!<\/p>\n

\"Auditioning<\/a>I pinned the sky background to the design wall, then auditioned the bridge fabrics. I cut my freezer paper pattern into pieces, and ironed each piece to the back of the selected fabric.<\/p>\n

I used a combination of methods to construct the units – some of the smaller units (such as the smaller tower) will be fused with raw edges.\u00a0 For the larger pieces, I cut the fabric with seam allowances, which I pressed to the back of the freezer paper piece.\u00a0 I fused the turned edges down with 1\/4″ or 1\/2″ strips of fusible web.\u00a0 The pieces in the very large curved section are sewn together, and just the outside edges are turned under with fusible strips.\u00a0 As each unit was completed, I pinned it back on the design wall.<\/p>\n

\"Small<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \"Fusible<\/a>\u00a0 \"Most<\/a><\/p>\n

\"almost<\/a>Then I removed all the pieces from the design wall and laid the background on my work table on top of the master pattern.\u00a0 Luckily, I could see the major lines of the pattern through the sky fabric.\u00a0 I positioned all the units and pinned them in place and made sure they all fit together with no gaps.\u00a0 As I pinned each unit, I removed the fusible backing paper.\u00a0 Once all the pieces were pinned in place, I put it back on the design wall so I could see if everything was straight – the taller tower needs to be straightened, but other than that it looks ready to be fused.<\/p>\n

\"my<\/a>(For those of you who are wondering how my design wall on wheels<\/a> is doing, it’s fabulous! Here you can see where I rolled it into the hallway to get a better photo of the quilt.\u00a0 I do still plan to post a tutorial about it, when I have more time.)<\/p>\n

Today, I’m going to fuse everything in place, then layer the quilt and start sewing.\u00a0 I’ll post about my progress later this week.<\/p>\n
