0


Good Morning, Quiltvillians!

Sure!  There’s introductory pricing!  And sure, there’s a Reward-Away!  We’ll get to that in a minute –


This challenge was the one which lastly pushed my buttons arduous sufficient to get the Juki I might wished since 1998. And I’m so glad I did it!  It is now my favourite machine for paper piecing (stitching on a line) or string piecing (simply protecting a paper basis with random widths of strips to fill the form) and I could not be happier with it.

Do not get me fallacious – I nonetheless love my classic machines and use them.  However with regards to basis paper piecing, and brief seams that begin and finish in the midst of the paper template, a machine with a thread cutter has its function!

Brief seams in the midst of the template – it makes issues more durable to “chain” piece with out lengthy threads in between items. However paper piecing is one of the simplest ways to go together with this quilt due to the lengthy odd angles.

The sample consists of templates for “over sized” reducing of the odd items to assist keep away from cloth waste and misalignment of items. 

The printable PDF template for the block is included on the finish of the sample, and as a separate “stand alone” file, making it simpler to tug up the template to print the variety of copies you want with out having to designate which web page to print from the sample.

15 pages of detailed instruction with many non-compulsory building strategies, full-color pictures and graphics.

This sample assumes the maker has some data and expertise with basis paper piecing, however the idea is straightforward sufficient for rookies to catch on simply.

Probably the most enjoyable for me?  Gathering my odd scraps of blues and neutrals – together with from a collection of allure squares that had been languishing for fairly some time. This quilt made an enormous dent within the smaller saved scraps and put them to nice use!

Try these screaming neutrals!

And you could acknowledge a few of these materials out of your Nineties stash – The blues run from sky blue to navy – and sure, these neutrals embrace enjoyable prints and colours as properly.

(Are you stunned?!)


After all it is the chartreuse yellow/inexperienced that’s the present stopper on this quilt.

Some designs simply beg for a relentless.  And since the chartreuse is a strong – it provides the design a spot to relaxation amongst all the different busy motion occurring with the blues and the neutrals.

My luck held out!

I used to be restricted to the quantity of Chartreuse I had available – and since it was a strong it had no producer title or information on it.  I might had it just a few years – so it was anybody’s guess.  I could not run out and discover some extra – so because of this I pre-cut my star triangles to benefit from the material as potential with the least quantity of waste.

Due to this – I had sufficient to bind it in the identical cloth!


I completely adore how this quilt turned out – although I ended up eradicating an outer border and including a second row of flying geese to border the middle.

Typically now we have to comply with what the quilt says it wants – we will not name it executed till it says YES!
