Beginnings

Prepare grid

This week we will begin a New Year, a New Decade, and a New Quilt!

The working title is: Pathway to the Forest.

Hear I'll show you the way I start.

1st-- I select a picture - that takes some computer time digging through the archives of our many photos.

2nd-- I decide on the size.  In this case I'm starting with about 35 x 45" - I can alter that smaller as I go if desired.

Prepare grid
Grid preperation

3rd--I cut and mark the foundation grid.  I use Pellon 820

I also cut newsprint to go under the foundation - and choose a transparent grid to go over the picture.  These things give me the "map" I will use to enlarge and create the picture out of fabric.

4th--Then I pull out bags of squares already cut - in the colors that I expect to need.  I'll cut more as needed.  At this point I'm trying to decide whether to use the small (1/2") or larger (1") squares....what do you think?
