Bizzy for Gizzy Flying Quilts!

Slide will only allow us to show 50 quilts, so please don't feel slighted if your quilt isn't here.

Designing the Quilts

OK, so Mom's cut all the strips into blocks and now she is playing with them, designing quilts.

There are 21 different fabrics, cut into over 500 pieces. With all that selection, it should be easy, right?
Uh, no.

If Mom uses every single piece, she could make 24 quilts, but she says that won't happen. For one thing she just found a strip that was cut wrong, meaning each of the nine blocks from that strip is unusable. Oops. Make that 23 quilts. Maybe.

Blocks

Mom has cut up just under half the strips into blocks of three sizes: 6-1/2", 4-1/2" and 2-1/2".
These are still left to cut.

Holiday Gizzys - Getting Started

Mom's finally started on the Holiday Gizzy Quilts. Here is a picture of all the fabric. The candy cane fabric on the left, and the red and silver fabric on the right are two of the fabrics Mom will use for the backs of the quilts.

All the fabric has to be ironed before it is cut into strips.
Here, some fabric is being cut.
After all the strips are cut, they are matched with another color.
Here everything has been matched and is waiting to be sewn.
Here are all the strips, sewn into pairs, then ironed. There are over 60 pairs of strips. They took about two hours to sew and another two hours to press.
Now these will be cut into blocks. Later, those blocks will be arranged into quilt tops. Mom thinks this next step will take a few days. She won't design any quilts until all the blocks are cut. She estimates there will be over 400 blocks when she is finished cutting.

She also says her shoulder will be really sore.
