NGeorgia, that is a cute quilt. Cute girl too.
I love the colors.

You gave good advice, to starch those bias edges.

As long as your seams are all the same, you should be fine. We will all be waiting for a photo

Yes, all of Jenny Doan's tutorials are informative, usually easy and she does a very good job in explaining things.

Hi Clare,

Thanks for visiting my blog and for your interest in my pattern. If you are a confident sewer, I think this project will be fine for you to start with - just read the pattern thoroughly and watch the video a few times first. As MTS said, you do need to be careful about stretch on the bias edges of the blocks but with careful handling and a bit of starch you should get minimal movement. I am a huge fan of starch, but didn't actually use any for this project. I found that just by setting my seams carefully as I added each new strip my strip sets were straight and stretch wasn't a problem.

Thank you to MTS for your tips, they are certainly steps I took when making my Summer in the Park quilt but just took them as assumed knowledge. It just goes to show - you should never assume! Lesson learned. I have now updated my patten with some extra tips, so if you have already downloaded the pattern, you may wish to go and have another look.

If you need any help or advice you can contact me through my blog and I would be more than happy to help. Good luck and happy sewing!:thumbup:

All the best,
Shontelle.

There are a lot of bias in this quilt and for a newbie I would suggest you save it for your 2nd quilt.

Seems simple enough

Thank you everyone for the great advice, I have learnt a lot. This really is a great forum.

Ngeorgia, your GD's quilt is wonderful.

Great Job. Personally, I have trouble with blocks set on the diagonal. Very Pretty.

I made this quilt for my son's wedding and they both love it. The quilt was a very easy one to do so you should have no trouble.

I started a tumbling block quilt a few months back but have to be in the right mind set to work on it, which doesn't seem often enough. : )

Turning Twenty or Yellow Brick Road are good first quilt patterns and you see then end result fairly quickly...
