With most of the squares laid out and some cutting still to go, it didn't seem too big a job. I thought a solid day sewing and it would all be put together. How wrong I was. After sewing and cutting for 6 solid hours I still had two thirds to go and had to get my family to carefully walk around the carpet to get to the dinner table.
My design rug is right in the middle of the house and the main thoroughfare to the living spaces. The family are fairly used to my mess so I left it there on the floor over night. Another whole day and night of sewing and still not done.
Finally, day three and here it is.
It turned out fantastic! I love the colours. I'm not surprised you have sore fingers and a sore back. So give it a little rest before you start the next one ;).
ReplyDeleteThis is looking amazing! I love the colors and the design is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours Meli. They are what I would call paua colours, like those inside our paua shell. Bet you are pleased with your final result, even if you are paying for it at the moment. Lucky you having a family who tolerate you leaving your blocks lying on the floor....mine moan and groan, and the cat insists on attacking them with a passion!!!!! Ciao.
ReplyDeleteThis is divine, I love the colours you have used here.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous colors! I agree - no border - it's just perfect the way it is :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa, this looks fantastic! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI had to smile about the design rug!
