Here are two rows sewn together on my fun and done, it is really quite easy and I found that using my zipper foot I couldsew the rows close to the batting.

Keep it up and we willo all have to copy you...that is one of the prettiest :D

Wow!!!! Beautiful.Keep up the good work.

Is this a quilt as you go pattern? Where can I find a tutorial or the directions? By the way, love the colors!

Yes this is quilt as you go, here is the link to the tutorial.

Here it is with 3 rows on.

LOVE the colors! I keep telling myself jump in and give it a try. I think you have inspired me to try it. Can't wait to see it all done. I think as soon as I finish my current WIP I will have to try a QAYG.

That really is looking fun! Good job.

Some things I have found that make it work a little better, Use the spray basing to hold the batting in place on the backing, Start piecing in the middle of each square, and use the zipper foot or whatever foot will let you stitch closest to the batting when putting the squares and rows together. Wala! pretty easy and it is fun!

This is so pretty.. Great job!!

You are doing a beautiful job on it. And it's going so fast too. I can't wait until they ship mine! They were out when I ordered, so I have to wait. Love the job you're doing!

I made my template, I am cheap and don't want to spend the money! LOL I just cut a chunk of plastic cutting mat. I find that floor tiles make great templates. The practice blocks I used a square picture frame.

how clever of you to make your own template! You inspire me :D

It looks great so far. Can you share the measurements of you blocks, strips and what the sashing came out as?

Yours looks so good for the sashing and I really don't care for many sashing patterns...

Thanks! Keep us posted.

It's gorgeous! I love the colors!! :-) :-)

WOW ! Very Pretty :lol: The colors are great together ! Yes please give us more details... what size is the templates ? What size did you cut your strips? Thanks for sharing

The backing block in 10 1/2 inches, the inside batting block is 8 inches so that leaves the frame size 1 1/4 all the way around. When you sew it together you get a sashing of 1 1/4 inches. You could make it wider by making your frame template wider. I cut my strips to 2 inches so it gives me a 1 1/2 inch strip when done. I did not follow a pattern just the method. By making it 7 blocks wide and 8 long I should end up with a twin size quilt about 52 12 x60 or 8 rows would be 52 1/2 x67 1/2.
Clear as mud?

i agree with up north all the way!!

AND think out of the box (so to speak): if you make your own template, it doesn't have to be square. it can be a rectangle. or a brick.

YUMMY!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Looking good! I like your fabrics too!

I have the perfect fabrics to give this a try. I will also make my own templates using a 12 1/2" ruler and a home made 10 1/2" square of plastic that my DH will cut for me.

This is going quite quickly and when I am finnished It is done! I just discovered I an short of the pansey fabric so lets keep our fingers crossed that they stil have it!! Or my quilt will be a little short!

That is really going together quickly! Looks like you are really having fun!!!

I hope they have more of your fabric.

on you templates....is the largest one about 2" bigger all the way around than the middle one? I have the pattern but not the templates

Your fun and done is just beautiful. Love the colors. Thanks for the tip about the zipper foot. I will have to try that.

Mine is 1 1/4 inches bigger all around but you could make it two that would just make your sashing 1 inch in each side =2 inches completed.

Here is a picture of the back

Up North, Thank you so much for the link to the tutorial. I'll have to try this, it looks like it would work up very quickly. Do you have any hints to making the template? How many inches wide did you make the outside template, (the part that gets folded in twice and sewn), is it about 2 inches? It's not that we're cheap, it's just that we'd rather spend our money on fabric, fabric and more fabric.

Sorry, Just noticed that you posted that already, Thanks again!!!

I can't believe just how fast this is going and your quilt looks beautiful!

up north - if you run out of pansies, can you finish with a row of co-ordinating fabric all around the outside edges, as many rows as you like?

I probobly could have it is just that sewing in a different direction example on the side creates the long line the other way. I did do that when I discovered I was short, I started adding on the the side to make that the longer part because I didn't have enough to do two more rows of 7 across. I finnished it the size it was as it wasn't for anything special.

Your quilt looks great so far. That's the one I am planning on making if I can ever get anywhere to buy some fabric. I live in a small town and we don't have much. One store 45 minutes away. I went there Saturday and the fabric was over $10 a yard. I can't pay that much. Any way, was curious to know if you needed the amounts that the pattern calls for. I thought it seemed like a lot of fabric for a twin sized quilt.

How much did the pattern call for??? :shock: :?: :shock:

It does take ALOT of fabric especially the backing, Make sure you have enough!
Mine ended up being a small twin, I ran out of fabric it is about 44x68 inches It takes a LOT of fabric for the backing I used 5 yards should have had 6 1/2 just for the backing I used about 1 1/2 of the purple, 1 of the yellow and 1/2 for the green. I made a 100 mile trip yesterday looking for more of the fabric but it was all sold. I finnished it the size it was.

Upnorth, it's beautiful!

Have you tried online for the fabric? Or Ebay? If you know the manufacturer maybe Micheal's or JoAnn's or a store like that can order it for you.

try places like http://www.nixiechicks.com

they have a good selectionof affordable fabric.

Your quilt is awesome! I love the colors. I am signed up for a class to do that quilt so now I have an idea of how the colors work. Will make it easier to me to pick now that I have seen yours.

Have fun with your class! It is realy easy and fun and whenit is done it is done!

I really like the sashing matching the middle of the block. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

here is the link to the finnished quilt.
