I am a memeber of Stinas Angel Story book club and the deadline for finishing the top is approaching very fast. I have until oct 1st to finish it. And Stina is pushing me to finish it. And today I had decided to spend all my day working on the top. So the first thing I did this morning was to find all the blocks and fabrics.
After breakfast I started to rotarycut all the squares that should go between all the blocks.
And I started to puzzle...
Here is the first 1/4 part of the top sewed together.
And the quilt started to grow.......
And grow...........
And grow.............ooooopss................this is photos from my walk today.
Back home I continued sewing the top together.
And now it's almost done. 3/4 are sewed together. The last part is just partly sewed together. But now it's late and I think I call it a night. But I think I will manage to finish it before deadline. Tomorrow I am teaching a workshop after work, but I got tuesday evening to sew the rest together.
My friend Bjørg (no blogger) is also working on the Angel Story Book. She hoped to finish the top before the deadline, but while rotarycutting the frames for the blocks she had a little accident. The rotarycutter was too sharp, and her finger was to close to it. So she had to go to the hospital to have a look at it. And came home with a huge bandage on her finger.
So let this be a warning. Be careful with your rotarycutter.
Saying for today:
A messy house is the sign of a happy quilter

Your Angel Story Book is coming together nicely.Can't wait to see the finished item.
You have put the quilt together very quickly and I love the colours - you even had time to go out for a walk too!!

Wow, you got a lot done today! I love the quilt. I sliced my finger with the RC once - boy did that hurt and for a long time! I hope your friend heals quickly.
Your Angel Story is so cheerful...love the colors.
You have to be so careful with rotary cutters. I am always afraid I will cut more than just fabric.
Hugs from One Happy Quilter.
What a happy looking quilt that is! And I love the mushrooms! They would make a neat looking quilt too, in an earthy sort of way.

May Britt your angels, wow....they really look so good...and all the bags, you must be so proud, well done it was a fantastic bag to make...
What a fun post to compare your growing blocks to mushrooms. So cute. Its going to be lovely.
You have worked soooooo much!And you have time enought to walk, enjoy the sun and see mushrooms.But the result of your work is fantastic. Your Angel Story quilt is very nice and I love the colors.
Looks like you had a very productive day of quilting. The Angel Story quilt is so pretty. I think you will make the deadline now.
May, your quilt is gorgeous... Love the colors. When I the quilt shop a lady came in with her foot all bandaged, she had dropped the rotary and almost cut her little toe off. They are dangerous.
Hope you get to finish soon, I'll be back.
Keep Stitchen'

Beautiful colors coming together! I envy you for the sentence "..spend all my day working on the top". As a mother of two (3y, almost 1y) its my largest dream to have a whole day for sewing anything :-).
Well done May Britt !

I love how your Angel Story Book is coming...I can't totally relate to your no blog friend as on christmas eve one year I was sewing like crazy to finish christmas presents and I need to cut my binding and zap there went the top of my finger...but I didn't get any blood on my project:)
Your quilt is coming along quite nicely - so very pretty. I hope your friend's finger heals soon.
