CJ, I think you said you quilted each block as you went on one of your dd's quilts. Could you explain how you did this? Sounds like something I would like to try as I have a hard time controlling a full sized quilt under the sewing machine and have it come out nice looking. Doing 1 block at a time sound much easier.

TIA

Here is how I did it. I probably broke a few rules, however it turned out perfect.

btw - you could do this row by row if you wanted to.

Here is the perfect link showing you how I did it.

The wonderful thing about this is you can use up smaller pieces of material and have a patchwork on the back of the quilt. If your hand quilting, you can take a block with you if you are travelling or going somewhere and quilt while your gone.

Dee, if you can't understand the link, let me know and I'll do a quick tutorial over the next couple days.

I made a quilt for ds for Christmas last year using this method - http://www.joann.com/content/project...ml&CATID=25288 It was very easy!

Thank you CJ and Kim!

CJ, I understand it perfectly, thanks for the great site!

Kim, I love that homespun look, but I'm afraid I would never be able to use one like that. I can just see my kids chewing on the seams now! ROFL

But thank you, I will keep that in mind for a gift.

ROFL! I can totally see where your kiddos could get themselves into plenty of trouble with a quilt like that.

Ds loves your avatar btw. He keeps saying "Hey, can I see that picture of that cute kitten again?"
