We made the 

Sweet Land Quilt 

which finishes at

 88" x 88"

It consists of 5 pieced blocks 

and 4 applique blocks

as well as a scrappy pieced border!

 

To make the appliqué blocks, 

 we all used my 

Sew Simple Shapes called of course...

The collection that we all used 

for the quilt is...

AMERICANA!!

the time so I fixed that for this video!

I had so much fun making my quilt

 with you and I really just

LOVE LOVE LOVE

how it turned out!

 Now for the finished quilt photos...

Here we go!!

I took so many pictures 

of my finished quilt for you!!

I hung it in my entryway

right before I filled the top

of my vintage credenza with

July decor and more vintage fun.

Thanks you so much for being patient

for this post as it took longer

 than usual to get it quilted:)

And now you may ask-

what's next???

Well here you go!

I'll see you right back here on 

September 8, 2025

This week we are starting on

 the pieced border for the quilt.

I did another video 

on making these blocks 

at the same time that I 

re-filmed the video from last week

(my work was not in view a lot of 

the time so I fixed that for this video!

CLICK HERE

for the part two video and the

tutorial for the pieced border:)

This is how I cut all of the

 flying geese for the borders.

I used 10" Bee in my Bonnet Design Boards

for two pages of cutting in the

 sew along guide and placed onto each

board that those pieces were cut...

And stacked them up like this!!

Here is a view of four of my 

Design Boards with pieces cut...

I then added the pages for each on top 

before stacking them up.

All stacked up next to my 

cute little machine and ready to go!!

I was not able to take photos 

while sewing the blocks

because of course I was filming

and of course all of the info that 

 you will need is in my video:)

After filming I added these border blocks

to my design wall just to give you 

an idea of how they will look! 

Thanks sew much for joining me again 

this week and I will meet you

right back here next time

for the BIG FINISH blog post!

***It will be a few weeks instead

 of the date in the guide

so that I can get my quilt

all quilted and bound for the post:)

Until then, happy quilting!!
