Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt Along – Aliyah, Asha, and Jada – #5

As much as I always enjoy block making, I won’t lie…I seam ripped the Aliyah block about four times. Lol. I don’t know if I was distracted, having a moment or what, but I kept sewing those little HSTs in the same direction, which was wrong. Ugh. Anyway! How are you? How is your quilt…

There are some projects that give me the same gidd There are some projects that give me the same giddy, obsessive feeling I had when I first discovered patchwork. And this mini quilt wall is doing it for me.

I vividly remember 2008, sitting on Google and finding all these blogs with pictures of patchwork. Any patchwork at all. I was hit with this massive need to cut it all up and sew it all back together.

And then, every once in a while, boom. A new quilty project comes along and you get that same loving rush of excitement all over again. I’m always chasing those old feelings. 🩷

I always love this part. The sewing is done, the quilting is done, and all that's left is getting it up on the wall.

For this one, I used two hanging loops instead of the three I used on my sample. Both work great, but if you're curious, the third loop does a better job of hiding the pushpin. Little details like that always seem to matter more to me after the quilt is finished 😅
