Sewing Along


This year I need to finish some of my UFOs. I started this quilt when teaching several groups in the local area, I wrote the instructions and demo the contsruction for a new block every week.

All the blocks are six inches finished but I have the instructions for the blocks to be twelve inches finished.  I am going to make a few more new blocks as well as demo the original blocks.

So keep watching the blog for written instructions and Youtube for the demos which I will link with the blog.

I used a bundle of fat quarters.  This could be sone using scraps. You will also need a cutting mat and rotary cutter plus a notebook.  I pieces my blocks using a sewing machine. These blocks could easily be pieced by hand stitching if you prefer. 

So gather your fabrics and supplies.  Let's get started next week....
