Quilting Tutorial questions............

[SewCrafty]

CJ, I am very behind on the quilting tutorial and want to work on it today. I think I have only completed 3 blocks!
Am I right and we are doing 10 blocks all measuring 12 1/2" square? And you did 2 extra blocks, the Jar Block and Log Cabin that will not go in our completed quilts, correct?

Here are the tutorials I found so far:

Diana, yes that is right. If you want to make a larger quilt, you can do 2 blocks of each which will make a queen size quilt.

Okay, thanks CJ. I'm back to the sewing machine!

I have bookmarked this thread! Thanks for asking Diana! Now that I have a sewing machine I plan to practice! Since I have a queen bed the 2 blocks each will be handy!
OOOOOO I can hardly wait to begin! I a, learning to use my rotary cutter, but it seems like I need 3 hands!
Maybe my dependable ds will help hold the material so i can cut it straight.....

Sis, you shouldn't need 3 hands. If you have an acrylic ruler and your cutter, placing your hands as in the tutorial on starting to quilt, you'll seldom have the material move.

If you have a soft bendable ruler, you material will move or wrinkle up.

YOu also need to have a VERY sharp blade in your rotary cutter. Don't use it when its dull, otherwise you'll send up with the material moving, or tearing.

Sis here is the link for the prepping of the material and how to cut it.
