Week # 22

It’s the final week &

your quilt is almost finished!

Refer to the instructions on page 8 to

“Assemble Large Quilt”

make the “Inner border”

using the half-square triangles that you made last week,

make the “Middle Sawtooth Border”

& finally make the “Outer Border”

then, sit back and admire your awesome success.

Thanks for sewing this quilt with me!!!

It means so much to me that your buy my patterns and want to sew along with me too!

Week # 21

Now that the quilt sections are all assembled,

if you’re making the 4 small quilts,

layer them with backing & batting then quilt as desired.

Bind the quilts & apply labels; you’re done!

If you’re making the 1 large quilt,

refer to page 8 to make 154 half-square triangles.

I know that seems like a BIG number,

but that’s just 22 hst’s for each of the 7 days this week!

I’m pretty sure I made them all in 1 day, plus assembled the rest of the quilt too.

(insert cracking whip sound here)

Remember, you’re going to love this quilt when it’s

quilted and hanging on your wall every Christmas!!!

Looking back at the pics I can’t believe that

not only did I make this very detailed quilt,

but I made it again so I could have the

4 individual quilts photographed for the pattern cover too!!!

That must have been temporary insanity

that came over me while I mindlessly pieced the little Dresden plates.

“This ain’t so bad”, the crazy lady said!

Week # 17

Yay!

It’s time for assembly!

& the numbers tell you what order to sew those sections to each other to complete Quilt #1.

Week # 16

Not much more to make for this pretty Christmas quilt.

We’ll finish the applique this week.

This week is “Stockings” week.

Refer again to page 6 to make the 2 stocking blocks.

Whatever applique technique you used for the mittens

you’ll want to use this week too.

I’m curious if anyone quilting along with us

is intimidated with applique?

If so, did you push yourself to do it anyway?

I hope that the little bits of different techniques in this quilt

have been fun & hopefully you’ve learned something too.

Nothing I do is hard.

It may be time consuming, but not hard!

Please keep posting your progress on our “Sewing With Susan” Facebook group.

I love to see your progress.

Week # 15

We’re moving right along with this pretty Christmas quilt.

Aside from the sawtooth border,

the piecing is complete!

This week is “Mittens” week.

Refer to page 6 to make the 4 little mitten blocks.

I’ve written the instructions for freezer paper applique.

Ever since I’ve become the Dresden Diva,

I prefer to make most all of my applique

with the turned edge of the freezer paper technique

so that it matches the center circles of the little Dresden plates.

Once you get the hang of it, it’s really quick & easy.

The Appliquick Bars really help!

Make whatever applique style that you prefer.

Please keep posting your progress on our “Sewing With Susan” Facebook group.

I love to see your progress.

Week # 13

Are you keeping up with our Christmas Quilt-Along?

Are you having fun?

I hope you’re doing both!

This week is another quick & easy one.

This week is “9 Patch Block” week.

Again refer to page 5 to make the little 9 Patches.

These instructions are also very simple

so they take the other half of the page from last week’s star blocks!

You’ll see that you need 8 red, 7 green & 2 blue blocks.

They’re scattered across the quilt so I included the illustration

to quickly show you where they are in the quilt.

It will probably take more time to cut the fabric

than to actually make these blocks!

Either way, I hope you enjoy this week’s work.
