Cutting Party!!

At 4pm our group, minus a few late comers, met int the Learning Resource Centre to cut fabric. Bella and Courtney had picked up the fabric from le bras- SIDA, sorted through it all and brought 4 large and heavy boxes to meet us. We cut blocks and cut blocks and cut some more.

Ashley and Cat practised sewing and completed one row of six blocks. After seeing the length in an actual sample we all decided to change the dimensions of the quilt. We also took into account that people outside would want to wrap the quilt around them, and so the width would have to be longer. Our new dimension for the quilts are: 6 blocks x 6 blocks. Which means 36 blocks for each person to take home, and sewing.

Again we cut more blocks.

The highlight of the evening was Courtney and Bella's matching outfits that they modelled for us. I will hunt down a picture for the blog here. What a productive evening!
