I hope you all had a nice weekend! I’m guessing many of you got out the chips, dip, and grill for a Super SEW Sunday! Am I right? 
What?!? You think I mean, “Super BOWL Sunday?” Nahhh….I mean, I *think* I heard “something” about tackles, interceptions, a neat story about a guy by the name of Kurt Warner, maybe some “Steelers” talk and all…
LOL! Just kidding, of course! So while Super Bowl Sunday was happening around here, I did sneak off for a little super-sewing, too. 
Part 8 & 9 will go by really fast. So let’s start with part 8: sewing those rows together!
Step 1: Arrange your diagonal rows as I have done in the photo below. The numbers just help with step 2.
Step 2: Right sides together, line up the bottom of row 1, to the top of row 2.
Step 3: Pin rows together. Carefully match up seams and use a lot of pins.
Step 4: Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew row 1 to row 2. Continue sewing rows together by sewing row 2 to row 3, and so on. Repeat until all 5 rows are sewn together. Press seams.
In keeping with the idea of making this quilt in “baby steps,” I’ll wait a few hours until posting the instructions for the corners. Resist the temptation to trim your quilt just yet. It’s ok if you have, but we’ll take care of it all in one big step when we put on those corners.
I’ll post again later on today! Have fun!!

Waiting for part 9 even though I’m only on part 7! LOL How many more steps are there? I was hoping to be able to give mine as a baby shower gift. The shower is Feb 8th…. I might have to figure out the ending myself. LOL Hoping to start a blog soon so I can post pictures.
I’m on step 6 1/2. I’ve completed step 6 and most of step 7 but not all. Hopefully, I be able to post pics of what I’ve done so far later in the week:)

Oops, I thought sewing the rows together was part of step 7. I guess I just imagined it. I did that and squared off the corners (guess I wasn’t supposed to do that either). So much for learning as I go WITH the teacher. As usual, I seem to jump ahead of myself! Going to go look to see what I need to do in Step 9 now. Thanks Kim for your help and kind words earlier.~Shelly~
