Well, you certainly are a quilter...It looks like piping between the sashing and the blocks...is it? Also, would love to see the back...I am always looking for new quilt as you go blocks and joining methods.

Love it look forward to reading how you put it together well done

These quilt as you go quilts are wonderful. Well done on this beauty. It will be cherished for ever! Love Chris

step 1: photo 1: I make my piping and I use a thin cotton cord which I separate. Using my zipper foot I stitch close to the fold of the material be careful not to catch the cotton cord.

step 2: photo 2: I then stitch the piping to the sashing.

step 3: photo 3: iron it in place.

step 4: photo 4: I embroider my design to my iron on wadding. after I am finish I trim the block to the size I need.

step 5: photo 5: I place my backing under my block and quilt it (either straight sewing or stippling. I then trim the backing and leave half an inch on all sides.

step 6: photo 6: Then place the backing right sides together and stitch being careful not to sew your main block or wadding during this process. Carefully iron open the seam some people cut back this seam.

Step 7: photo 7: I place the sashing over the main blocks and ditch stitch between the piping and the sashing.

Photo 8: is the back of the quilt

Thanks so much, Barb for the instructions...one more question about the piping...what do you do with the piping cord that would be sewn into the seam allowances?

Boy, for someone who claims not to be a quilter, you sure put together a fabulous quilt! An heirloom for sure! Thanks for the tutorial on how you did the piping! I'm going to give it a try!

Fantastic.....this gives me hope if I ever want to try this......you did a superb job!!

Fantastic job done!!Sunning design and work!!!

Lovey job for your second quilt. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Stitching =)

Very nice. Hugs

Beautiful quilt. I think you did a wonderful job. All it takes is the making of one quilt to be considered a quilter so I think you qualify. My twin sister and I wanted to keep the quilting legacy going in our family. We come from a long line of quilters. My sister checked the American guidelines and discovered that it has to be passed down thru each family line. Even though my aunt quilted, it didn't count for us. It had to pass down through my dad! He let us sweet talk him into making a quilt so the legacy continues thru 5 generations! Now to teach one of my children.

Love it!

Wonderful job and I beg to differ, you are a quilter. Love it.

Beautifully done!

You're a quilter. Quite lovely.

Wonderful! Marvelous quilting! I love it, can you tell!-lol
Thank you for explaining to all of us. It's so good when Cuties share their know-how or experiments with different techniques. Give your grand daughter a birthday wish from us, I'm sure she loved this quilt. She must be about my grand daughter Nora's age.
Very nice work-Toogie
