"BLOCK TEN"
Welcome to week ten of the
"PRAIRIE MEADOW"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing tutorials
on the blocks for the quilt.
Of course because we are all sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each Monday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time each week that
is convenient for you.
We are making the
Prairie Meadow Quilt
68" x 85"
The quilt is made with my newest fabric
collection called Prairie...
I hope that you all have all
received your
fabric kits by now...
and that we are all ready to begin!!
If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for
"Prairie Meadow Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.
We are also using the
Prairie Meadow
Sew Simple Shapes
I have already posted the
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 download the sew along guide.
It's very important to watch my
Week One/Block One video tutorial
because everything I show you in
block one pertains to all
the rest of the blocks.
Things such as tips on sewing...
shaping and turning all of your
appliqués as well as the entire
process of laying out the block.
I also explain about sewing
the scrappy background.

As per the sew along guide
cutting instructions
you should have everything for your
Block Ten
all cut and ready to go!
Everything is all cut...
all traced and ready:)
You can also see above the squares
and rectangles that
I used for the background.
Here is a list of the
Prairie Meadow
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for
Block Ten:
4 - N-4
4 - N-27
4 - N-32
4 - N-34
4 - N-35
16 - N-48
1 - N-49
8 - N-58
You will need to cut
4 - 4 1/2" long
of prepared 1/4" strips
for the stems
from your spool.
Block Ten shapes
sewn...trimmed and clipped.
Before turning...
you will need to clip the
cleavage areas in-between
each of the shapes that are
on the design board in the photo.
Remember to clip ALL the way
to your stitched line but not into it.
If you do not clip far enough it will
be hard for it to lie flat.
Use the seam roller and also your iron
in these kind of
areas just as I showed you in the
week one video.
The other shapes
do not need any clipping:)
*When I turned and shaped these
pomegranate tops...
they took me a few minutes
but not as long as I thought they might!
I did not need to use hemostats
to turn them but of course
you can feel free to if needed.
All turned...shaped...pressed and ready:)
I pre-glued the gingham centers
onto the pomegranates and placed
the tops showing 3/4" tall
at the top and glued into place.
I also glued the 4 shapes
onto the outside of the center circle
before pinning onto the background.
I then pinned these shapes onto the
center of the background first.
The stems measure 3 1/2" long.
Next I centered and placed
these shapes 2" in from the edge
of the background and pinned into place.
I placed the bottom set of leaves
1/2" up from the center circle
and the tips 1/4" away
from tan leaves on each side.
I placed the top set with the
inside curves on the seam line
and about 1/4" away from the bottom set.
Lastly I placed the circles
1 1/2" from the edge of the background
and 1/4" in from the seam line.
After a few minutes I removed my
pins and let my block lie flat
to continue drying the glue:)
That is my BLOCK TEN tutorial.
BLOCK TEN
all ready for applique:)
Afterwards I will
press from the back and then
I will use my
16 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
to trim down the block.
Thanks for joining
me this week for the
Prairie Meadow Sew Along...
We are nearing the end of our journey!!
