Bee Vintage Sew Along - The Big Finish!!

"THE BIG FINISH"

Welcome back to the 

"BEE VINTAGE"

Sew Along!

Each week I did tutorials

 for all 20 blocks for the quilt.

We made the 

Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt

71" x 84"

The quilt was made with my fabric

 collection called Bee Vintage...

and a few other prints from my basics collections as well:)

If you are just getting started and you

still need a fabric kit...

just do a quick google search for 

"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"

to find shops who still have some left.

We used the

Bee Vintage

Sew Simple Shapes

I have posted the

"BEE PREPARED"

 post which details all of the supplies

 for the sew along and how it worked.

I have also given the link there 

for the free PDF Download 

of the Sew Along Guide

As per usual for the first block in my 

Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs

Today we are talking about

the big finish because we have

completed all of the blocks!!

I wanted to show you all of my blocks

 on the design wall in my sewing room.

They are all appliquéd and this is

right before I trimmed them up:)

 I trimmed all of them at the same time

and stacked them nice and neat on a

Bee in my Bonnet Design Board

so that the edges did not fray

before they were sewn into the quilt.

Here are a few of my blocks after trimming.

My blocks are machine appliquéd

just like I showed you in the video

 on my YouTube about my Sew Simple Shapes.

CLICK HERE

if you want to view it again.

Next I took some close ups of some

of my blocks with a side view...

 I thought that you might want to see what 

the machine applique looks like

up close and personal:)

I just had to take a quick photo

 of Bill and Sue together!!

When you are ready to sew your 

blocks together...

just follow the instructions 

in the sew along guide:)

Mine are now all sewn together

along with the sashing and cornerstones

 and borders added!!

Yes... it's a little bit wrinkled 

at this point but I'll soon take

care of that!!!

It is currently at the quilters!

Here is my quilt folded and ready to go 

to the quilters along with the 

Bee Vintage wideback...

Vintage Trim and my prepared binding.

I have a prototype of my 

Bee Binding Holders and so I used

the Marigold colored one to keep my

binding nice and tidy:)

They come in a set and in 

three of my happy colors...

Marigold - Coral - Sea Glass

Each one holds at least 12 yards 

of prepared binding and the set 

will be available this December:)

You may have noticed a few other blocks

 hanging out on my design wall!

These are from my upcoming 

HOME TOWN SEW ALONG

This is the Home Town Quilt 

that we will be making

using my latest fabric collection 

and my new 

Sew Simple Shapes Set...

both are called HOME TOWN

And here is your invite to join in!

It starts Monday, September 18th

and I'll be doing my BEE PREPARED Post

this coming Monday here on my blog.

Today we are making a daisy chain!!

Here is my Vintage Daisy Chain Block 

 All cut...traced and ready to go!

Here is a list of the

  Bee Vintage 

Sew Simple Shapes 

needed for this block:

4 - P-9 

12 - P-30

1 - P-58

1 - P-59

  4 - P-64  

Cut your background  

12" x 12"

and it will be very helpful to 

press it both ways side to side

and both ways diagonally.

After sewing and trimming up the

 seam allowances you will need to 

clip each cleavage area in the flowers. 

 

Pressed and ready to chain some daisies!

I used my 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

to place the two circles first 

and make sure that they were both 

centered correctly with-in the aqua window 

(aka the finished size of the block)

 I continued to use the ruler

to line things up as I placed 

the flowers and center of flowers next

 and then all of the leaves.

It was also 

VERY HELPFUL 

when placing them to use the 

pressed lines in my background 

as a guide. 

This measures about 9 3/4" 

wide both ways:)

Pinned and glued...

And now ready for applique:)

After you have appliquéd...

 press your block from the back 

and trim down to 

10 1/2" square to sew into the quilt.

VINTAGE DAISY CHAIN BLOCK

We have made the final 

two blocks for our quilt...

YaY!!!

Thanks so much for sewing your 

Vintage Kitty Block 

with me today and for joining me 

 for the last week of the 

Bee Vintage Sew Along

I'll meet you right back here

 next time for the 

BIG FINISH!
