WIP: Kit Work

Recently I've been trying to watch my waistline so that the wedding dress I bought back in August will still fit me in June. Towards this aim, I ditched Superbowl Sunday in favor of Sewing Sunday. After taking the beast for a romp in the snow, I spent a good 6 hours working on the True Colors quilt kit.

Echo really loves giant fields of snow. And cornstalks.

I made all the HST corner pieces and the flying geese units for the stars. Everything is ironed and ready to be made into blocks.

To trim or not to trim? That is the question...

I'm undecided if I'm going to trim things up before I make the blocks. The instructions don't have anything about trimming, I don't usually trim anything (which may explain my terrible point alignments...), and I would really hate to mess it up this far along. Suggestions?

Puppy!

Not a lot of sewing has been going on as of late. I blame this little guy. Meet Echo, the shepherd/husky/??? mix. According to the vet, he's a be huge (vet thinks 80+ pounds, my guess was at least 60)
