2181looks beautiful. Can't wait to get quilting again. Broke my arm 11 days ago so have to wait 6 weeks. Will just have to read the quilt magazines in the mean time

8654I love how your quilt turned out! I sooo want to try doing the quilt as you go but I really don't get the sashing/joining them together part! Maybe one day it will sink in how to do it...lol.

145302This is a lovely quilt, can't believe you did it in a week-end. I am so slow it would take me a week-end to do one row, ha ha. Flowers for you and everyone.

7232ok I went & checked it out & I get most of it, but can you tell me one thing? When you add the sashing on both sides ( in your pic it would be the black) & then you turn it over how do you join the next block? Do you do one side on the machine & the other by hand or fancy stitches?

you finish 1 block trim it then add the front (2 inch folded and pressed in half) and the back sash, 1 1/4", both at the same time. to connect, you sew the back to the next square, then fold the front sash over and sew it down. clear as mud, huh? check out video-

I think that I sort of get it, but I think that I have to do it to see if I can "SEE" it. Thanks
299559This is awesome, I can't believe that you did it all on one weekend! Wow I am going to go check out the recommended sites! I love it! Excellent job.

5955Great job, I like the white strip in the center of the block, it makes it almost 3 dimensional if you concentrate on the black lines.
