Sweat Shop and Sweet 16

I've been embroidering uniform for a local transport company.  Each item takes 7 minutes to embroider.  There is no point in going off and doing anything around the house as I'll need to be back soon; there is no point in starting anything new, as I'll get distracted and forget to set up the next item . . . so . . .

I dug out all my sweet 16 blocks (some of them shown here)

and started assembling them in strips.  Using my Quicker Than Quilt As You Go method I've got it started yesterday

And have them all assembled today


The embroidery?  Two big Ikea bags filled, another 14 items then I'm done!

  4. Hi Benta! I love your little squares quilt here! Your quick method is really great! If I just didn't have those dog hairs - fleece backing is not possible even it would be so comfy. x Teje
