Prairie Meadow Sew Along - The Big Finish!!



"The Big Finish!"
Welcome to the final post of the 
"PRAIRIE MEADOW"
Sew Along!

Even though this sew along is over
 you may be just getting started
so no worries because you will
find everything that I posted weekly
right here on my blog 
and you can follow my tutorials 
any time each week that 
 is convenient for you.
Simply scroll down and 
click on the links for each post.


 
Prairie Meadow Quilt
68" x 85"



The quilt was made with my fabric
 collection called Prairie...

I hope that you all have all 
received your 
fabric kits by now.

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 first 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.

Now onto the finished quilt:)



Okay! 
Now that the backing fabric is here
 and my dear friend Juli Stubbs
 did her magic and 
quilted my quilt so beautifully...
I can finally show you my finished quilt
 as it hangs in my quilty cottage home!


I finally had some decent 
natural lighting to take photos...
so I'm going to 
let the photos do the talking!


But first I just wanted to let you know
that I took a close up of each block
and the borders so that 
you could see the lovely quilting:)
I hope that you enjoy the many photos that
I'll be showing you.
I'm completely in love with this quilt!
Here we go!...





































Thanks so much for coming along with me

I just can't tell you how happy I am
 that my quilt is finished 
and hanging on my wall:)

  4. This was my first introduction to you, your fabric & patterns with this sew a-long.
    I really enjoyed & shared the process so much that several of my sewing girlfriends did this Prairie Meadow pattern too!
    Your quilt is beautifully custom quilted, I did mine in a edge to edge floral & it too looks lovely & did not take away from the applique design. I live in a rural village & custom quilting has to be taken into the city to be done it is more time & money with make do times upon us.
    I'm working on the Scrappiness Is Happiness BOW & enjoying that process too!
    Thank you for your sharing of knowledge that has been pasted down to you, we are never too old to learn new ideas from others, Grandma was right with there's more than on way of doing things. The motto I've lived with is 'Everything is easy once you know how!'
