The Ocean Waves design is now complete! All 1166 triangles and 18 squares have been sewn together. Yesterday, I was able to cut the border fabric - having changed the colours from my original choice. The main border is made up of three sections; inner, middle and outer borders which have been sewn together into four strips, ready to attach to the main Ocean Waves design.
Once the border has been attached, I shall cut and sew the backing fabric and measure and cut the wadding/batting (cotton filling). Then the patchwork top, batting and backing will be tacked together with large hand sewn stitches and machine quilting will commence. When the machine quilting is complete, I shall then hand quilt the setting squares and triangles and then attach the binding.
Et Voila! - the 'Waves for Tommy' Quilt will be complete. God be willing. Amen.
May we all have a blessed Holy Week.
