Let's Bake Sew Along - The Big Finish!!

Today is our super happy

 big finish day!!!

Isn't it amazing that we can

 take a pile of fabric...

Cut it up into pieces...

Add fun notions...

And end up with a beautiful quilt!

I don't know about you...

but when I look at each quilt

 that I've ever made...

 I remember making it and also 

everything else that was happening

in my life during that time:)

It makes me so happy that you 

have joined my 

Let's Bake Sew Along

 and added even more sweet memories

 for me...thank you so much!

Now that your blocks are

 all sewn together...

it's time to add the borders:)

Hopefully you have been cross stitching

 your flowers all along the way...

And have added the scrappy strips 

around each of the ones 

that go into the border!

Remember that tutorial from week one?

The border block instructions are there.

Use the cutting and directions on page 10 of the guide to add your borders:)

I've taken several photos of my

 quilt top after my borders

 were added and

 before the quilting...

And after the quilting and binding too!

Speaking of binding...

don't forget to tuck the large

 Vintage Trim inside because 

it adds so much vintage sweetness

 to your quilt:)

Simply top stitch it to the edge

 with an 1/8" seam allowance

 before sewing on the binding:)

Easy Peasy!!

My friend Juli Stubbs did a 

fabulous job with the quilting...

And I took several photos so that 

you can see how she quilted it:)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt.

It was such an amazing 

labor of love from start to finish.

 Again...

thanks so much for joining me!!

Remember that each and every week 

of this sew along will ALWAYS remain

 here on my blog so that you can finish up

 at your own speed...

or start from the beginning!

Depending on your individual sewing time...

some of you may not have been able to

 keep up with the sew along weekly....

or you have purchased a kit and are just starting now...

That's great!

As usual... each and 

every week's tutorial will 

remain on my blog forever.

Just look at the right sidebar

 (you must be viewing it in full web version)

 and scroll down until you 

see the sew along and click 

on that week you need to see:)

So my next big announcement is that

 at the end of this summer 

I will begin my next sew along journey

 and you are of course...invited!

There will be a new set of 

Sew Simple Shapes...

And a new quilt...

And new fabric that 

will be arriving in July.

Autumn Love!!!

If you would like to make my 

Autumn Love Quilt with me...

check with your fave quilt shop 

and preorder your kit!

This is really going to be a

 fun sew along and will be 

just like my previous sew alongs 

with my Sew Simple Shapes.

 We will have a free PDF of the

 Sew Along Guide 

and then each block tutorial 

will be here on my blog 

each Monday starting in August.

I hope you will join me 

on this next adventure!
