The machine quilting book I ordered from Nancy's Notions when they had
free shipping and it was $19.98.

If you have never tried it, one thing to keep in mind is to have extra backing seam allowance (just a little bit beyond the regular size of the top block), so you can easily turn under seams after the blocks are sewn together. That last step is sometimes a tough one, but the quilts look just as pretty as whole ones.

P.S. If this scrolls across the screen, I am sorry. I tried to figure out why it was so large for me, but nothing looks different in the set-up.

This is the best explanation I have found for quilt as you go... this makes a double sided quilt.

I am attaching pictures of a runner that I did during my "Three Sisters Quilting Week" (This being an annual tradition for my sisters and I that we started in 2007 :D )
I love the results... so finished and pretty. Plus when it's done... IT'S DONE!!!
