I am so excited for the Gravity Quilt. I ordered my kit and then found the QAL over at Busy Hands Quilts. I am so glad someone online is doing a QAL. There are a few things in the instructions that I haven't tackled yet so I am happy to get a few pointers.
I did finish the first two blocks. These are the Horizon blocks in the pattern. They were not too difficult since I have worked with diamond blocks before. I used a 1/4 inch seam allowance on the blue block but is did come out a 1/4 inch too short. I am hoping I can work it in when it comes time to put the quilt top together. So on the other block I used a scant 1/4 inch seam and it turned out great. I am looking forward to the next blocks.
I really need to try to take pictures in progress. I just get tunnel vision when sewing and forget to get the camera out.
Not much else has been happening with sewing. I need to get back into my goal setting with the quarterly Finish Along and monthly A Lovely Year of Finishes. The last month has been challenging with lots of ups and downs. Hopefully I will be able to get back to sewing now.
I am so happy you are quilting along with us! Your blocks look great! Thanks for the tip on seam allowance.
