spent 80% of my day making the pain-in-the-ass squares for my ace jon quilt and consequently my body is 80% pain now
#there are two squares from the fanart#and one of them is extremely nice to do with just squares and rectangles#and - crucially - i cut them out correctly#the showpiece squares are much more fiddly and i'm going to go back in time and beat myself for not cutting the pieces out correctly#the hourglass blocks are all a half inch too small and i don't know what i did with the 2.5 squares but they are shit as well#but there are only five showpiece squares left to do now so i can absolutely knock those out in another day#and then i'll get to work on the filler squares and making rows#i really wasn't sure i'd be able to get this quilt done by end of year but batch sewing really helped#so if i can Focus and also Not Break My Back with this. i might even get the top done by the end of this month???#and then it's on to the worst part. the absolute worst part. finding backing.#(but also this is if i go the square route. whereas my original plan would add another 2 rows)#(and i was getting lazy but like........... 7x9 quilt............extremely good vibes from a 7x9 quilt........)#but then there's ALSO what i'm planning on doing about the actual quilting#because with all the very close calls with too-small blocks i probably NEED some dense quilting#but i haven't figured out my free-hand quilting foot and i don't want to practice on a quilt i've poured myself into already#so.......i guess i'll have to send it away 🥺#agh i'm Tired i just want to have the finished thing in my hands#BUT WILL THEY LET ME BIND IT? binding it is my favorite step i need to bind it myself i can't deal with strangers doing my baby's binding#i don't know!! and my back hurts too much to think about it anymore#quilting tag
