My Happy Place Sew Along - Quilt Label!!

"MY QUILT LABEL"

Welcome to week twelve of the 

"MY HAPPY PLACE"

Sew Along!

Join me here each week 

when I will be doing tutorials

 on the blocks for the quilt.

 I will be posting each Monday 

right here on my blog 

and you can follow my tutorials 

any time during the week that 

 is convenient for you.

For this sew along...

We are making the 

My Happy Place Quilt

74" x 88"

The quilt is made with my newest fabric

 collection called STITCH...

Along with several Bee Backgrounds:)

If you are just joining us 

and need a fabric kit...

 just do a quick google search 

to find out which quilt shops 

may have one left for you.

Simply type in 

"My Happy Place Quilt Kit"

to find one!

As all of my 

Sew Simple Shapes Sew Alongs go...

We are using the shapes

for the pattern of this quilt

and of course the Sew Along Guide and my tutorials each week.

The set of shapes that we are

 using for this quilt are called

MY HAPPY PLACE

I have already posted the

 "BEE PREPARED"

 post which details all of the supplies

 for the sew along and how it works.

I have also given the link there 

for the free PDF Download 

of the Sew Along Guide

to read that post.

When you have all of your

 blocks for the quilt completed...

Remember that everything that 

you need to know about

 cutting and trimming up your blocks...

and putting them all together with 

the borders and sashing...  

is of course in the sew along guide.

It's not anything tricky just basic

adding on borders:)

But something that is NOT 

in the guide is my quilt label!

I usually do a blog post at the end 

of my sew alongs showing you 

how I made a label for my quilt.

Sew...are you ready?

Remember when I did this tutorial

 on block seven a few weeks back?

Well I thought that it would be

sew perfect to use one of my 

quilt labels from my panel.

It's called of course

"My Happy Place"

Multi Label Quilt Panel

The center yellow square 

in this block is cut 4 1/2"...

And so I simply grabbed one of the labels...

And used my 4 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

 to center it and fussy cut!

I like to use the 

Micron Pigma Pens 

when writing on my labels.

Easy Peasy!

I cut the pieces for the block...

(remember that the measurements

 are in the guide)

I sewed my block together and

 added the borders just like in the tutorial.

I love how it turned out!

Because I like to appliqué my labels

 onto the back of my quilt 

when I'm using my widleback fabric 

like for this quilt...

I just cut my Sew-In Interfacing 

the same size as my block...

place them right sides together 

just like I do when sewing my

 Sew Simple Shapes

and then sew 1/4" seam allowance 

around my block.

I cut an X in the back of 

my interfacing for turning...

I shape and press:)

Now that I've got blocks and

 my label finished ...

this is everything that I need 

to finish it up!!

I'll be back here next week 

with the Big Finish post 

and lots of pictures 

of my finished 

"My Happy Place Quilt"
