Amish quilt update, July 15



Category: Amish quilt | Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 1:22 am

Wow! I have 17 rows of 17 squares done. That is 289 squares. Earlier I estimated 40 stitches per row and there are 16 rows of stitches per row. So, that makes 640 stitches per row or 10,880 stitches for the 17 rows. Total time so far, 13 hours an 25 minutes approximately. The next step is to iron out all the seams, 172 of them, to flatten them and then, sew the strips together according to the grid. Guess I will start that part tomorrow. dooley

total time to date:13 hours 25 minutes

Dooley I can hardly believe just how quickly the quilt is coming along - especially as you are sewing it by hand!!! 10,880 stitches - that's over 800 stitches an hour!! You're doing great!!!
