Patchwork with Strips for Quilt Making

Patchwork with Strips for Quilt Making

“Congratulations! You've reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the quilt you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Decide on an idea for your quilt top layout. Determine how many blocks you want to make and how many background fabric elements you need. Also, calculate how much fabric is necessary to create this quilt.

Make your blocks. If you follow the process I used, first assemble all your stripe sets and then cut out your quilt blocks. Arrange your blocks and background fabric elements (if applicable). Then, sew your quilt top together. Decide how you want to quilt your quilt (by hand, machine, or sending it out to a longarm quilter). Quilt your quilt, bind, and finish. I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”

“ Final Project Thank you so much for joining me in this course. I hope you enjoyed learning more about patchwork and quilting, and are excited to create your own patchwork creation. Before you head off and dive into your own project, here are my top three tips. First up, prioritize your 0.25-inch seam allowance. Take time to make sure that you're using an actual 0.25-inch when sewing. Mark the guideline on the wrong side of your fabric. Add a strip of tape on your sewing machine. Make sure to use pins so the edges of the two fabrics you're sewing together stay aligned. Rip out and redo a s...”
