My apologies, blogging friends. The days are slipping by without very much happening in the sewing room. :(
Last Thursday was the monthly meeting of Casual Quilters' QOV. I decided to work on Alycia's newest sew-a-long, The Ribbon. She decided to make it a sew-a-long rather than a mystery.
The Ribbon quilt.
You can find the first page of the directions, here. This has the size and fabric requirements. Also included are the cutting directions but I wait until the steps are released to cut. I do make a few of my blocks in a different manner so I cut accordingly.
Alycia released The Ribbon: Step 2 on July 16, 2025. It was to make the checkerboards so I cut in the morning and sewed at our day. First I made the blue-white-blue-white-blue strata.
I was happy to be able to complete the white-blue-white-blue-white strata while at sew day, too.
After lunch, we had a special guest, Ed D. who was awarded a Quilt of Valor. He served in Vietnam. Here he is with his proud daughter.
On Friday, I sliced up my strata and sewed the checkerboards. It only took me an hour to sew my checkerboards. I plead the 5th on how long it took me to sew the strata. We tend to talk more than sew on QOV sew days. :)
