Infinity!

A new quilting project called Infinity has begun. I've been wanting to make this wallhanging for years and have decided to dedicate the rest of December to this project.


The pattern is found in  Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts by Eileen Wright.

I don't like most Bargello quilts but this book has several that I do like. My preference is that they be symmetrical.

(I know I cropped this picture to remove part of the green. Looks like Blogger is playing with my mind again this week. At least the pictures are here and not lost in cyberspace!)


Infinity looks like an interesting pattern. 

It looks even better when the page is turned the correct direction. Blogger!


The fabrics have been purchased. Sorry the photo is dark.


And they've been washed to remove excess dyes.

The black isn't shown hanging on the rack. That happened after these fabrics were removed, pressed and refolded.


The fabrics have been cut into strips. 

After this picture was taken, I did rearrange some of the fabrics and I even remembered to change the label numbers.

The important thing is label, label, label! 


The black fabrics have also been cut and labeled.

And there there is also a black strip set sewn. I didn't take a picture, just imagine a bunch of black strips sewn together.

I copied the instructions from the book since it won't lay flat. I also like to do this so I can check off each step as it is completed so I can keep track of where I am. And it keeps my book clean and tidy in case I ever want to make another wallhanging from this pattern.


Now the strips sets are sewn and are ready to be cut for sewing.


This is my cutting zone, two mats and three strip sets.


Here is what I've sewn so far. I'm making progress. This is not a difficult quilt to make and I'm having fun!

    1. There are 2 other quilts in this book I hope to make someday. I thought this would be a hard pattern but it's not. This is so much fun! Maybe you should join in with your mom and sister and make a bargello too.
