And there you have it. 5 hours of cutting 1200 squares. Over 3 hours of pressing seams open. Pinning and unpinning. I love Ron in blue, don't you too?
And you're not going to believe this, but when my Ron quilt saw the photo of Sonja's amazingly fabulous new pattern "I love sushi" (This is a pattern that went right to the heart of me the first time I saw it and it's one I will make!), he whispered to me, "I love sushi too".
So there you have it again. Straight from Ron quilts lips.
Here's a bit more info about I Love Sushi:
The I Love Sushi Quilt finishes at 37" x 43" , and is a paper pieced quilt pattern. The PDF pattern is 20 pages long, and includes all pattern templates. The first 10 pages print out as a handy booklet, and includes basic paper piecing instructions, a glossary of terms, illustrated instructions and links to online tutorials. It was designed with beginners in mind, so it's rated easy-moderate for novice quilters. It makes a yummy wall hanging, baby quilt, or small lap quilt
You are a sewing machine! Holy cow! I love that you provided stats on the process of creating your Ron. He's right there and he's awesome.

He does love sushi! Especially that odd egg one! Great time sewing with you today! And you got this done so quickly, I'll never understand what you mean when you talk, "slow sew."

Handsome is as handsome does. Did Ron say that? In any event handsome!

Penny,
Ron looks awesome! You did a great job and he rocks outdoors. I wonder if Ron knows about this love fest for him. It would be funny if they have it on the show. Have a great evening.
Linda :-)
