I'll walk you through the process of calculating one quilt, using a 12" Starflower Block as the Example.

Start Quilting 2 - Figuring Your Quilt Yardage

The Supplies List for that pattern tells you that you need the following amounts for one block: If we are making a FULL sized quilt, and doing Block-to-Block construction (No Sashings) we will plan on making 56 blocks, so will need 56 of each of the fabric units needed. Our job is to figure out how many yards that means! There are just FIVE STEPS: Step One: First, multiply the strips/units you know you need( shown above in the Supplies List) times the number of blocks you plan to make ( 56): For Color 1, two strips 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" times 56 = we will need 112 strips 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" Quilt Inspiration.

A Quilting life...the amazing 24 hour quilt!

It is a beautiful quilt, and you can find tons of amazing quilts and projects over at A Quilting Life... Thanks Sherri!... This is “Garden Path” from the Kim Diehl book Simple Traditions. I changed it up a bit and didn't do the appliqué in the outer border because I was so intent on finishing right away. A friend of mine had made this quilt, and when I realized I had the pattern I went home that day and started cutting!

I think that one of the reasons I was so drawn to this quilt was because my first ever patchwork piecing was done when I was about 11—I made two 9-patch pillows from some pre-cut squares my mom purchased for me at the fabric store—and this quilt reminded me of those pillows! I was determined to use what I had on hand and used several charm packs instead of the strip piecing method in the book (which would have been far faster)! Reb_tree_skirt.jpg 750×661 pixels. Sew Kind Of Wonderful. Free-Motion Quilting Basics. This is a simple overview of free-motion quilting on a home machine.

Free-Motion Quilting Basics

For a post detailing my process for managing the size and weight of a larger quilt during quilting, please refer to my post on the Modern Quilt Guild blog. I prepare my machine as follows: Fit machine with darning/free-motion foot.Set stitch length to zero.Lower or cover feed dogs (depending on the machine).Fit machine with a brand new needle. I prefer 90/14 Machine Quilting needles. Free-motion quilting puts a lot of stress on your needle, so using a stronger one is a good idea. For this quilt, I used cotton thread in a light warm tan to match the natural Essex cotton/linen I used for the sashing. Because free-motion quilting takes so much thread, I like to fill a number of extra bobbins before I start.

I prefer to use a quality 100% cotton thread like Aurifil 50 wt for both piecing and quilting. Better threads tend to do well in most machines, but sometimes machines are finicky. Welcome to ShopMartingale. The Dark Side...or Not Layer Cake Quilt. Colourful Stitches - FPI Publishing.
