Bitcoin Progress -- Sewing the Long Rows

I finally have enough rows assembled on the BitCoin quilt to start putting the rows together.  BitCoin is a Bonnie Hunter digital pattern available on her site here.  It took me an hour to sew four rows together.  I am going for the original size of 74" x 90".  It could go just a smidge wider, but with all these little seams, the quilt could become heavy.


I didn't lay out the rows.  I am going to put them together at random in strips of four and then arrange them.  I'll have a couple left over to put where needed.  Many of these fabrics definitely look better cut into tiny pieces because the majority of them came out of the multi-colored bin.  I made sure I threw in some others to break it up a bit.  I'm glad I did.  You can see where the fabrics with the single colors break that up.

It's been hot--in the 90's--and humid.  My t-shirt gets soaked working in the flowerbed in the first 15 minutes.  Better get busy pulling weeds this morning.  But look how Candy gets creative to be comfy:


Candy is an outside cat but usually insists on my attention and likes to be where I am on the property.

This afternoon looks like a pool day.


The ducks are enjoying the hot days as well.

That's a good idea to sew them in rows of four.

Bit coin is a fabulous use of scraps-and we all seem to have plenty of those!
