Hi, and where do you find this at.
|
I have an Easy Big Block pattern for the Carolina Lily. Did you find this easy to do? The "papers" seem very thin and easy to tear to me so I guess one would have to be very careful not to make any mistakes. Your quilt is going to be gorgeous when you are done!
|
Thanks for posting a picture of the pattern. I doubt it is still available but I will be on the lookout for it just in case.

Eleanor Burns has a newer pattern for the DWR called Nouveau WR Quilt. You can use the templates in the pattern or order the set from her. Just in case someone would want to check this out. Here is the link for the pattern & if you scroll down a little way you will see the templates for sale. www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/book/55293 She also has a wonderful video to go along with it on the same page. Kind of lengthy but, well worth it.

Here is my block. My corners turned out great but I had trouble getting the in between sections to match up. As you can see the from my patterns, they should have lined up.
|
A ha! I figured out why they wouldn't line up! I should have folded the seam allowance from the corner block back to figure out the locations for the strips. It was only out about an 1/8 of an inch but it drove me crazy.
|
Tartan you have cracked it. Looks great. The middle from left to right is all one piece but you have got it congratulations I certainly could not have done without a pattern. Now to get another 41 done lol.
|
Tartan... Are you making your own pattern for this DWR...graph paper drawing along side your block? Good work
|
Big Blocks, looks familiar. I may have one myself somewhere.
|
I did do my own pattern on graph paper after failing to find it in my internet searches. I would have purchased the paper pieced pattern if I could have found it.

Tartan I have got the quilt pattern included in the wedding pack but can you advise me how to do it before I sew the squares together. It is a pattern which is done on the centre white blocks. How can I transfer from the paper to the blocks do I have to trace it and then sew round it. I'm not very good at free motion but the squares look a bit empty without something in them. Can I do wadding on the backs or how do I do it.sorry for all the silly questions but after doing 42 12" squares I am a bit baffled as to how to complete. I still have borders to sew and they are nearly as intricate as the blocks but would love to get time to get them done but daughter is about too much and she has no idea that I am doing it. Thank you for listening to my rantings

Are you thinking of QAYG(quilt as you go)? If you quilt each block before joining them, it is going to be a little tricky to sew them together after but not impossible. Keep the quilting back a good inch all around the edge of each block. This will let you pull back the batt and backing to sew the quilt block fronts together after quilting. Once the edges of the blocks are all machine joined in the front, you will trim the batt edges so they lay flat ( butting against each other) you can join them by ironing batting tape along the crack. A thin strip of thin fusible will work too if you can't find batting tape. Once that is done, you can hand stitch the backing squares edges together.
To get the quilt design onto the center of the white part, there are a number of ways. You can mark the the design on a stack of tissue paper squares and staple the 4 corners together. Put a dull needle in you machine (without any thread) and stitch over the design through several pieces of the tissue. Remove the staples and you will have several copies of the quilting design. Pin the design to each prepared quilt sandwich block and quilt the design. You can then gently pull off the tissue paper. This method allows you to follow the design but won't leave any MARKINGS if your FMQ isn't perfect. You can also QAYG in sections or strips so you have less joining to do after quilting. I think I might do 2 blocks wide down the whole length of the quilt. Easy to get into the machine and quilt but you would only have to sew 4 or 6 strips together depending on the size of the quilt. If this wasn't what you were asking, never mind.:) |
Thank You Tartan this is exactly what I was asking. I understand what you mean by joining the blocks and yes that could be beyond my expertise lol . I am certainly going to try doing the quilt pattern as you suggest. Wish me luck and thank you so much for your reply.

I am looking for a foundation pattern for the double wedding ring block.
|
This DWR is made by paper piecing the corners with strips in between the corner units. It gives the illusion of a DWR. I Googled for a couple of days for this older McCalls quilt pattern kit. I finally gave up and drafted my own on graph paper. If you look at newjeepgreen's earlier picture posts, you can see how to do it.
|
Where did you find this pattern and how much was it. I love this and want to make it.
