THAT'S A GREAT TUTORIAL. THANKS FOR POSTING. I KNOW IT WILL HELP THOSE THAT NEED A VISUAL.

otherwise kmown as a "flip -n- sew" on a large scale. thanks for the description.

Yesterday I made a bus quilt (42X60" aprox) with 9 panels and today another one. Today's was different in that the batting I used only had the fusible sticky stuff on one side so I used it to hold the backing on and pinned the panels as I sewed them on the front.
One of the pluses for me, with this method, are I don't worry about my seams being exactly any exact size, I can use up scraps (as long as they are at least full fabric width (42") and wide enough to give me a panel. Also, I have arthritis in my hands, so the less pinning I do the longer I can sew. Someone has offered to post pictures for me. I will try to get them to her post haste. Frankly, I'm tired right now. I know some of you have given up on me, but most of you have been very patient and all replies have been very kind and often very informative. Love this group. |

Hi Sierra...I don't know why anyone would give up on you? We all should have patience with one another. |
thanx, you are one of the reasons I love this group.

Here is another link to a visual tutorial, except this technique (like making a string quilt block) has you starting in the middle and going out to both ends (one side at a time). I would imagine that the two-sided sticky batting in this quilt in a day tutorial might eliminate the need to start in the middle, as each strip is held firm by the sticky-stuff on the batting. Sure does sound like a great way to make a quick quilt - gonna have to try this one! |
Cool - I get it! Quilt in a day, quilt as I go - that will be the way I do the next baby quilt, and maybe some for the nursing home - sounds like a good stash buster!

Can't wait to see your quilt. Sounds so easy to do. This may be a new technique to incorporate in the baby quilts I do for charity

Hello Everyone! So sorry about the no pictures; I really thought I could post them, but something has changed about my computer or about my brain. On Sept 22 I am meeting with other QBs and I am confident that one of them will be able to post my pictures up. I'm taking step by step photos for those of you who haven't done this type before. In the meantime I've done 3 more!. Happy quilting trails........

That's okay...we can wait :)
I haven't started quilting yet..my plan (LOL) is to start in the colder days/months. My niece just asked me to do a tie quilt using Smurfs for her daughter. But I just might do one of these as I already did a tie quilt using Disney Princesses. I hope by then I can find Smurf material (if just a panel would be fine with me). Then if all goes well with my 1st one....all I have to do is 6 more for other great nieces and nephews using different panels/designs/material. :lol: |
