I did the blocks on my janome embroidery machine...digitized it( Jef format) so it was like quilt as you go( no batting) or flip and sew. It made all the seams more uniform . I sewed the strips on "no show mesh stabilizer" and squared them to 8 1/2 inch blocks... seam allowance 1/2 inch. Quilt is 12 blocks by 8 blocks, so without borders it is 96 by 64.. I think it will be petty close to king size with borders added. I am debating quilting on emb machine or longarm.
I am not following part of what you said, katiedid. Did you create your pattern
on your Janome? And how did digitizing it make it like "quilt-as-you-go"? LOL, I don't have a machine remotely like what I think you're describing and I am frankly lost. It's so gorgeous, I would love to make one. (Yes, I'm a rank newbie; how did you guess?
)
