I have never before joined a quilt-along… commitment issues maybe… but this one is just too cool too miss. So I did, joined a quilt-along: Tokyo Subway Map by Oh, Fransson. The plan is to do a block a week, maybe two, we’ll see. Anyway, here is block numero uno:

I had fun selecting fabrics and cutting, but I will not be cutting all, what was it, 1600 squares up front. I will cut as I go, for each block separately.

I will also need to get some tools before I go on… I had trouble aligning the squares (as you may see), so I need either a 1/4 inch foot or a seam guide. I don’t really want to order online, so I have to see if any of the stores carry those (I know that the local JoAnne does not).

I am looking forward to making more of those…
