Back to Quilting

 I'm going to be doing a Quilt as you go demo at Ready Set Sew in March and since this is my sister's work, she OK'd the use of the most beautiful batiks for the sample. Lucky me!
I have nine feet, that is 12" per color to make a quilt. I have the chills just looking at this fabric.




When I folded it back to reveal the colors it dawned on me that the stripes would work as part of the design. I plan on doing strips of blocks at at a time, quilting as I go. I have lots of leftover batting in long strips that will work perfectly for this design. I'll be photographing each step for the Power Point part of the demo.

  2. Gorgeous fabric and I love doing QAYG!! I've made several quilts using this method and it's great to have a quilt all quilted so you only have to put the binding on.

  3. It is wonderful fabric and an intriguing design (knitting influences quilting and vice versa...). I hope you are allowed to post your demo photos in the blog. I really enjoy reading your process posts.

  5. Lovely fabrics, I have some similar in my batiks stash. The blocks will look beautiful with these strips of colour.
