Nancy continues with the eighth tutorial for the Quilt As You Go series. She is using the book by Beth Donaldson, Block By Block. The book is out of print but you might be able to find it through a friend, Ebay, or Amazon.
In the last episode, Nancy assembled the blocks together. Look for the other tutorials where Nancy shows how she did the tile designs, appli-quilting, and quilting. In this tutorial, she will show how to put a row together.
Nancy's quilt has only four large blocks. But just know when you work on a quilt with more blocks you will have larger rows as you go. It's not a difficult process but may be a bit heavier.
Nancy has the second row, blocks 3 and 4, on her table. On blocks 1 and 2, the sashing on the bottom has not been quilted so that it can be connected to blocks 3 and 4. Nancy prepared the sashing by pinning back the batting and the backing just like she did with the blocks. She pins the sashing from blocks 1 and 2 directly to blocks 3 and 4 while matching up the sashing sections and cornerstones. Use some bigger pins if possible because the quilt is quite thick. Use a lot of pins to hold the two rows together securely. The sections that are not quilted yet may be a little bigger so you will have to ease in some of the sashing fabric.
Nancy takes the pinned blocks to her sewing machine to sew the rows together. She sews with a normal quarter inch; not a scant quarter of an inch. The extra little bit helps with sewing everything in place. Hold it from the back and in front to ease in some of the sashing fabric. It is best to sew with your walking foot when you are sewing the rows together. Keep sewing the quarter inch down the whole row while sewing over the pins. Keep in mind again that the quilt will get a bit heavy but doable.
The sashing is now stitched to the blocks to complete the row. Nancy removes all the pins and sticks them in her fabulous pin cushion (pattern and kits available at www.onpoint-tv.com/shop). She places the quilt on her table and opens up the back. Nancy pulls the quilt away while pressing the seam. Next she'll trim the batting. You'll want to trim the batting right up to the seam. Take your time while trimming with your scissors.
Using the Heat Press fusible tape, place the fusible side down and position it so it is just up to the seam and press. Pull the quilt a little so the sashing is completely flat. Next fold the backing fabric down. You will want to fold the backing just enough so it goes just over the seam. It could be a half of inch or more or it may be less. Press with your iron as you go. Use Roxanne Glue Baste It to secure the fold down and press again to get the glue to dry quickly.
Take the quilt back to the sewing machine. Sew on the ledge to catch a little past the fold on the backing fabric. The quilt is now bigger so you will have to manhandle it to get it where you need to go. Nancy sews up to the yellow cornerstone block and then goes back and quilts the sashing with a straight stitch. She'll do additional quilting on her other sewing machine in the yellow cornerstones.
Next time Nancy will add borders on the block by block quilt. Borders can always be used to make any quilt bigger. Nancy will show you how using Marti Michell's technique.
