EPP-a-long

I'm going to join the EPP-a-long at Life Under Quilts with my big blue hexie blob. However, because I'm not quilting stars, I'd been wondering how to track my progress. The blob, as you can guess, has been growing and growing in a very disorganized (organic?) way. Then I remembered a thrift store in Toronto called By The Pound. True to it's name, you would pay for second-hand clothes by weight. I bet you can guess where this is going.

How am I going to track my EPP progess? I decided that a kitchen scale was the best way/weigh. 


Currently, the big blue hexie blob weighs 410 grams. My goal for next Monday is 430 grams. I think this is a pretty ambitious goal. 10 basted hexies weigh 9 grams, but once they're in the quilt, I'll take the paper out. I'm guesstimating that an increase of 20 grams equals about about 35 sewn hexies. I'll let you know.

  2. I love that you weighed it to track progress! From what I can tell, the blob looks great. I look forward to watching it progress, in weight and in size! :)

  3. Great idea to track by weight -- you can always mist it with water to add a few grams (but maybe with paper around that is a super stupid idea, actually...). JJ
