With all the blocks for the Gypsy Wife quilt made, it is time for sewing the quilt top together. In most cases this is a straight forward exercise. With the Gypsy Wife this is where it gets interesting. Where to start? Section one is the logical starting point but it didn't look straight forward, so I started at Section 8. It is the need to start at a simpler section and the fact I like to work left to right. Sections 8, 9 and 10 which joins to the bottom of 8 and 9 looked a little easier then starting at 1 and 2 and is the left hand side of the quilt.
This is sections 8 and 9 with half of ten. It needs a good press.
This is where I got to as my sewing machine was playing up. Time to do something about that. I just wanted to finish this top off and I was going to have this machine serviced. She has decided she can't wait. So I will be quilting this weekend or I will change over my Pfaff back so I can piece. I have been using her mainly for quilting.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching

This looks awesome! The Gypsy Wife quilt is on my bucket list.
Very nice! I've had a couple of sections done for quite some time now, then it scared me away. I'm determined to get back to it!!!
You must have a go.
There is sone challenging sections that is why I started with these one build up to them. Fingers crossed I master them.
