Construction details, for future reference:
- 9 x 6.5" squares stitched 3x3
- each 9 patch block cut and restitched into a D9P (disappearing 9 patch) block
- D9P was layered with batting, quilted in straight lines (about 1/2" apart)
- quilted blocks were trimmed to the same size (17")
(this is pretty much the technique I followed - thanks Maureen :D)
- 9 quilted blocks assembled and backed (backing was pieced to make it big enough)
- straight stitched in the ditch of the 9 blocks to quilt the front to the backing
- corners rounded off with a plate, then 2 3/4" binding attached
DONE and GORGEOUS (iidssm) :)
BEAUTIFUL!!!! It's really gorgeous! I can't believe this is your first QAYG project. Go you!!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I love your new blog template =D
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out so pretty. And from the sounds of it, we'll be seeing more of these in the future.
ReplyDeleteBTW... love the new blog background and header.
You have new glasses? The new looks is kind of small lettering, lol. Pretty fun on the other hand. I like the owls and flowers but those stripes are kind of distracting my concetration to read and think :-)
ReplyDeleteA BEAUTIFUL quilt, Sandra!!! The light blue with the random orange / yellow... perfect colour combination.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it. So the backing goes on separate? I've seen so many qayg methods, I'm more confused than ever.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I've never tried the QAYG technique, but I know it would be easier than having to wrangle a big quilt through a sewing machine :)
ReplyDeletelovely finish Sandra... beautiful colours
