Does anyone know where to locate a tutorial for the Shadowbox Quilt designed by Mountainpeek Creations? Directions sound confusing to me at this point...just need a little nudge to get started! Thanks!

I don't believe there is a tutorial as it is still sold in stores...I've made 2 of them...which part are you having trouble with
|
Hope you get the help you need. This is a good place to get it.

Did you know that you can do a half-square triangle block in the corner and add straight pieces to make the miter?

Great tip Charlie.

I love that pattern and made one, but haven't finished quilting it yet. I am not able to use a rotary cutter, so the directions really confused me. I just cut the widths needed as I went along. It wasn't that hard to sew up, tho. It was the cutting/planning. I wish they put alternate 'old fashioned' directions on patterns.

The two borders could be pieced strip sets and then cut down. Probably something like one strip of black 4-1/2" x WOF and one strip of background 2" x WOF, subcut into 2 inch strips AND one strip of black 12-1/2" by WOF and one strip of background 2" x WOF, subcut into 2 inch strips. |

Thank you, if it turns out well I'll try to post a picture! |
Old fashioned= using scissors to cut out all the pieces. I am machine quilting it. But I decided to do it with smaller sections of batting so it wouldn't be as bulky to work with and now I'm adding the last section of batting to it. If I was doing it again, I would break up the top in sections to quilt as I go.

Thank you for taking the time to post, I appreciate it. Would love to see pictures of your Shadowbox when it is complete! |
My BFF made this quilt at our last retreat and it is BEAUTIFUL!

I just finished that quilt, queen size, sent it to my son and daughter in law. Sewing was much easier than planning and cutting, not very well written directions. However, does make a great looking piece.
|
oh my, that sounds so easy, even I can do that! (using the half square triangles in the corner)
|
As far as the mitered corner, you could use a half square triangle, or you could sew a small square to the bottom of one edge and sew on the diagonal of the square, folding it back over to give the triangle effect...both ways easier than the mitered corner approach!
