The beginning of Vega's quilt...
The project that used the sewing machine and staple gun, not done yet but it is coming together.
A dozen handprints from each child...they will be wreaths for my sisters for Christmas. I have the same done of Barb's girls too.
Fudgy Fingers for school tomorrow. I have more batter to make more tomorrow and they also need some glaze, that will get done in the morning or later.
Half loaf of bread that is left after dinner. It was a bread making kind of day, which in my world means putting ingredients into the machine with 3 1/2 hours before dinner.
More of vega's quilt.
Ok so it is not that I don't piece out of anything other then survival. I don't like construction....as in clothing or other things that are not flat. But Project Runway is making me want to do more of that as is Pinterest! As for piecing, well when ever I bring out the sewing machine my boys want to touch and twist and move things which then make my machine not work very well. As I have a rather old and temperamental machine....I love it though. It only goes forward and backward that's it! Not even any zig zag! Though I do have another machine (also not so new as it was bought by my grandfather for my grandmother and he died in 1993)
But this center will have the grids pieced then as one piece they will be appliqued to the back ground piece. AS soon as I get the package from my sister I will have the border fabric and the bird applique shape. It is going together fast.

so you say you dont "piece" but how do you attache these to the backing? do you baste them onto the front of the giant piece of fabric?
