A Gift from Janome

Since I registered my upgrade to my sewing machine with Janome they sent me some gifts. This is a wall hanging (about 46" x 46") made with a method called One Stitch. It is an unusual way to make a quilt. You put the strips, etc. on a sticky grid and then add the batting and backing. Using a decorative stitch you sew all the folded edges down. (You sort of do a weave with the folded pieces and cut edges) I never could figure out what she was talking about doing to make mitered corners so I just folded till it worked.

As a reward for making the 108 blocks for Kailyn's quilt, I hung ithe wall hanging in my sewing room to add a touch of Spring. It's on the wall straighter than I took the picture.

What I forgot was now I have to square up those 108 blocks. Ick! My 21 month old helper was counting for me. The only problem is she can only count to 14 and sometimes leaves out numbers. Once she gets to 14 she starts with the days of the week leaving out some of those too. She did get several piles. Now I always thought I could count. When I finished I discovered I was short 3 and had to piece more. I guess neither of us is used to these big numbers.
