I have had quite the creative sewing adventure! My 6x4 square top, cut at 4.5 inches, turned out beautifully, with all the points matching almost perfectly. It’s no wonder I'm feeling proud and doing happy dances! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Now, let’s explore the delightful journey of this piece:

  • Initially, I was torn between making a dish drying mat or a cat bed for Trixsy, my cat. But fate intervened when my husband expressed a desire for a pillow for his computer chair. I added another row and backed it with the same Peanuts fabric, and generously stuffed it. His verdict? It’s incredibly comfy, and he might even take it to bed!
  • Speaking of Peanuts, my husband initially chose that pattern for a pillowcase. However, my first attempt didn’t quite fit his king-sized pillow due to some greenhorn cutting mistakes. Fear not! I've learned from the experience and plan to give that pillowcase another shot. Maybe I'll end up making one for myself too—!

I think my sewing journey is a testament to progress and creativity. I plan to keep going. I'm even planning another more involved quilt pattern for a near future project. Stay tuned for that!  ๐Ÿงต✨

Summary: My successful sewing session has me feeling a little more like a quilting pro, even if just a baby one. Progress is progress! ๐ŸŒŸ
