Sweetie Pie Sew Along - Week Ten - The Big Finish!!

Hello again...

YaY!

It's week ten and time

 for the big finish:)

If you want to make my

 Sweetie Pie Quilt

Last week we left off here...

with all of the 

appliqué completed 

and the quilt center

  sewn together.

Now it's time for the pieced border:)

Cut pieces according to the pattern...

Draw a line onto

 your background squares...

or use my 

Seams Sew Easy

 if you don't want to

 take the time to mark them.

I always chain piece when

 I'm doing the same step

 on multiple pieces.

When all of your 

easy corner triangles

 are sewn...

it's time to 

trim them like this!!!

I press my seams open 

so that they 

lie nice and flat.

Sew them together according

 to the pattern 

and then sew them 

to your quilt...

like this!!!

The last step is to

 cut and prepare 

your outside borders...

and add them to your quilt:)

I super LOVE this quilt!!! 

Mine is all quilted 

and hanging in my 

family room right now:)

My friend Juli Stubbs quilted it for me and did an amazing job.

The following photos 

are several close ups 

of the quilting that I 

took for you to see:)

I hope these photos 

help you out when you

 are ready to quilt yours:)

Thank you so much

Sweetie Pie Sew Along - Week Nine - Daisy Appliqué!

Hello cute people! 

Welcome to week nine:)

If you want to make my 

Sweetie Pie Quilt

Now that all of our

 Gingham Daisies 

are completed...

lets get them appliquéd!

I showed you

 last week that I

 worked with 1/2 of the

 quilt at a time.

I started by appliquéing 

the daisies around 

all of the edges. 

Use your seam lines

 to center the daisies.

The daisies measure 

1 3/4" from the edge.

After lining up...

I pinned and appliqued.

I worked all the way around

 the edges on both halves.

For the daisies in the

 middle of the quilt 

I used my 

6 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

and lined up the lines 

with the seams...

Then placed the daisy underneath.

The lines on the ruler

 really help to 

make sure it's centered.

Now appliqué all of the daisies...

on both halves like this.

Now sew them together...

And finish the last four daisies!

YaY!

Next week we will do 

the outside borders

 and I'll show you my finished 

Sweetie Pie Quilt!

Scrappy Project Planner Sew Along - Week Six - Fat Quarter Flirt Quilt!!

Welcome to week six in the 

Scrappy Project Planner

Sew Along:)

Today we are focusing on the

 sixth quilt pattern 

inside the planner.

#FatQuarterFlirtQuilt

All of the other quilts

 were made using

scrappy stash leftovers.

Fat Quarter Flirt 

can be made using 

leftovers as well...

but I especially designed it

 for using up those 

leftover fat quarters

 or that favorite FQBundle

 that you have been

 saving/hoarding:)

Here are the first 

two rows sewn together 

back when I made this quilt 

for the planner.

Fat Quarter Flirt 

is a twin size and 

takes 30 fat quarters:)

The look of the quilt 

changes by the colors

 and styles of the fabrics.

I've seen this quilt done

 in christmas prints 

as well as Halloween 

and they are super cute!

I also want to show you

 the one I made using

 background fabrics.

I have a ton of these 

in my stash because 

I love them and I thought

 this pattern would be 

perfect to put them all

 together in one quilt:)

I love the 

soft vintagey look...

and I super love with 

how it turned out:)

Thanks so much for

 celebrating my 

Scrappy Project Planner

with me.
