Quilt As You Go All Finished - Well Almost

Quilt as you Go

I've just finished my Lynne Edwards Sampler Quilt. I really like it.

We did use  a few non Lynne Edwards blocks. Just because I liked them.
I intend doing some hand quilting in the sashing. But that can wait a while.

Meanwhile here are some pictures.

Sampler Quilt 

I made twenty blocks.

This is the back of the quilt.

I used up all my scrap pieces to make the back.

Close ups of the quilting - back view.

Close up of some patterned stitching I used for quilting.

See the black blur/smudge at the bottom of the quilt?

That was my new kitten Sparky darting across the quilt!

So it looks like Daisy and I have a new apprentice to help us quilt.

Quilt As You Go

This project used Quilt as you Go joining. It's a lovely way to work as each Block is complete including Quilting before being joined together to make the whole Quilt.

Finishing Off - Binding your Quilt

Quilt as you Go 

Quilt Binding 

As our Sampler Quilt Blocks  have all been made and we start stitching them together, our thoughts turn to finishing our Quilts. And that involves squaring off, making the binding and attaching the binding.

All these Quilts were made using the Quilt as you Go method.

Sampler Quilt Blocks

For all of you who want to know how I put together my Sampler Quilt Blocks.  

 This was a good Quilt to make to help my group expand their Patchwork and Quilting skills. 

Each Block was a complete piece of work. With the top wadding and backing and Quilting. This meant we were only ever dealing with a small piece of work.

This Tangled Star proved quite a challenge for many. Even I had to have quiet and really concentrate while making it!

I do like the echo Quilting on this Block.

Nice Socks included with this Block!

The Bow Tie was a lovely Block to make.

I felt mine looked like a Box of Milk, White and Mint Chocolates!

Yum Yum!

And here it is finished and displayed on my sofa.

The Binding

I quite enjoy making and attaching my Quilt Binding. It signals I'm coming towards the finishing line of my Quilt. And what a difference visually once the binding is on a Quilt. Find out how I Make and Attach My Bindings
