Squares, Thread, Needles, and Pins...

I spent the last two days and nights helping my Gramma finish a quilt. It's a queen size quilt so it's huge! First, we had to get the bottom of the quilt on the quilting rack thingy and we had to roll it up. Then we had to put on the batting. THEN we had to put on the top of the quilt. We then had to pin it all together and we had to tie it so it stays in place. We (more like she) toke itto the sewing room were she stichted all up yesterday. We then toke the quilt and placed it on top of the dinning room table and we pinned the sides. She took it in the sewing room and started to sew it up. She was having a tough time taking out the pins at the same time so i heloed out by taking out all the pins so it was easyer. We then took it to the table for final touches. She took out some siccors and cut all the very long strings and the quilt was finished for my Grandpa's nephew who is getting married in Maine. Well that's about it around here. Later!!!

Sounds like A LOT of work!!
Did anyone take pictures of you working with Gramma??

You are learning so many things and you'll be able to do a small one by yourself one day :)
