I was finished sewing the first one and by 8pm. As the family settled in to watch Winter Wipeout, I started clipping. I am so glad that I purchased these spring loaded scissors several years ago.
These are the best scissors ever for clipping rag quilts. They are from Heritage Cutlery and I absolutely LOVE them!
After 5 days, I finally found another opportunity to work on the 2nd Monster's quilt and I learned a very valuable lesson...
...in my house (where my bedroom is my sewing room), you cannot leave the sewing table or ironing board empty for 5 days. This is what happens...
Everything migrates! I spent at least 1/2 an hour moving, folding, putting away and rearranging things...then I had to vacuum...
...another thing I learned is that if I have a quilt or fabric spread out all over the floor, no one bothers my stuff & the room doesn't get as dirty. But, if I pick everything up when I am done, they will wear their shoes on the carpet, bring in food and leave a mess that needs to be cleaned before I can spread out my stuff again!
Alright, enough complaining. Here are the photos I took of the assembly of the Monster Rag Quilt...
