But this video tempted me to finish my scrap and may be I will give it a go. I m from Sri Lanka where long arm machine even doesn’t exist for what I know. Only garment factories probably might have.

      Now you’ve set my brain working, @judyallhands3361. I’ve been craving a coverlet (summer-weight quilt with no traditional batting) but knew it would be best to have a middle layer not some kind, not just a pieced top and a backing. Your use of muslin might just be the perfect weight and will add the necessary opaqueness and added stability. Thank you for commenting.

    They are doing 9 inch blocks when it’s completed will be a mosaic pattern so obviously the styles are different.
    Trying to find someone with a long arm that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to quilt. It has been a struggle.
    Watching your video. I am now confident that we can do it at home and I know the kids will be excited to do it also.

    Perfect timing. I just received 30+ QAYG log cabin blocks from the 1970s. Go gold, orange and brown! Im going to use this method to stitch up several smaller quilts for charity and honor the mystery woman who made the blocks so lovingly all those years ago.

    @kittyswanson3611 Год назад +3

    You can also start sewing in the centre of the block and build out like a log cabin. For the first centre piece sometimes I make a small patchwork grid, or use a picture for an eye spy piece. Another fab how to Karen!

    As a lazy quilter, this seems like a good idea for making coasters, trivets, placemats, and hot/cold pads. Piecing the blocks together to make a full-size quilt looks like a pain in the butt. And neck and shoulders. 😊

  • @ellegtown1
    @ellegtown1 Год назад +8

    This is so fun! I like to use a slightly wider strip folded in half on the top so I don’t have to deal with turning under that quarter-inch, but I learned that I make it a hair bigger than the math says because you lose a smidge of fabric in the fold. Then I top-stitch on both sides of the top of the binding.
    If you use a jelly roll strip, you cut 1” off and are left with a 1.5” strip the you press in half with wrong sides together for the front. Anyway, I hope this makes sense. It’s such a swell method…now I want to go make scrappy blocks! Thank you so much for the inspiration. Also, that fusible bobbin thread is blowing my mind…absolutely brilliant!

    Thanks Karen this might help me finish a quilt I started in a class 20 years ago. It stalled soon after the class. It was a two sided quilt the feature block on one side is filler block on the other. WITH EACH SIDE A different colour family. It is ingenious but got overwhelming I definitely feel like revisiting it after this.
