Progress for this piece was posted via my Facebook: www.facebook.com/MakeItPinkEts… Make sure to follow along for much more rambling and observations about my work.

Okay, I've been resisting posting this, cause, honestly, I'm only half full of pride. On one part of it, I totally made a ton of straight lines with my sewing machine through denim and other leftover pant-scrap-fabric that my seamstress master, Joann, gave to me. Then again, not all my lines were straight. BUT it was my very first time ever even touching a sewing machine, so I'm giving myself a break.

I cut out all the squares. I chalked all the lines. I stitched all the edges. I clipped all the corners. I stitched them all together. I did this twice, so I cut 128 squares. The first try came out a lot, for obvious reasons, worse, than the second try. Each set was 24x24 inches.

Basically, I'm not sure I want to do quilts with my life. But maybe if I buy pre-cut squares it would be better.

Originally my seamstress master wanted to make a tote bag but I was like, "Nah, man, I will never use that, let's make a cover for my machine." I thought this was going to be easy pie, but honestly I had no idea what I was getting into with that top hole for the handle. Sewing holes? That's ridiculous. Don't do it. Just avoid that.

GraniteFire was a sweetie sweet sasquatch during this time and actually stayed on my sofa during the creation of this. That is historical.
