I did sew the rows together and cut the borders so I could sew them. I didn't make too many mistakes (the brain is still very slow! lol) until I did something dumb!
I poked the pin to hold a piece straight into my pinkie finger---boy did it bleed! I had to leave the piecing for the day because I didn't want to bleed on the quilt!
After washing, I trimmed the loose ends from the fabric and then pressed it!
There is much variation in the handspun yarn and I love the shading and shifting that results!
I was glad to see the fabric didn't shrink too much and my fabric pieces will fit! I will be cutting out the skirt pieces another day because I am heading out to our first day of The All Florida Shop Hop. I only have to drive the 25 mins to my friend's house and she will do the rest of the driving! We are going to the closest and the farthest shops today with a pit-stop to JoAnns' in between!
