Has this ever happened to you where a quilty friend shares a link to a really cool technique and you "think" you've committed it to memory until you didn't? Yep, that's exactly what happened in this situation. I "thought" I had the technique all locked down in my memory and I was in my sewing room making a block when my block did NOT look like the block I had remembered. What happened?!!! Preface it to say, "my mistake" turned out to be better than the original!! Why? Because "my way" requires NO TRIMMING when the block is all done. How's that! NO CUTTING and NO TRIMMING - whose interested now?!! Let me show you "my way" in creating the NO CUT - NO TRIM Block-in-a-Block Quilt. Grab (1) EACH of your favorite 5" and 10" Stackers. I used my NEW Midnight Garden Stackers available here! Press BOTH the 5" and 10" squares in half vertically AND horizontally with a hot iron to create the crease. Place the 5" PRESSED square (right side up) on top of a 10" PRESSED square (right side up) aligning the pressed lines so the 5" square is centered on the 10" square. Using the cardboard stock found in your 10" Stacker pack, lay it on top of the layered fabrics so the edge of the cardboard lines up with the edge of the 5" square. Using a hot iron, press the fabric onto the cardboard stock, slide the cardboard stock out and pin. Repeat the SAME steps on the other side. Sew a 1/4" from each edge. Press open. Rotate your block and REPEAT the exact steps above to the other two sides. To create a NO CUT - NO TRIM Block-in-a-Block finishing 9" square! Lay your blocks out in a pleasing fashion of 6 blocks across x 7 blocks down. Sew the rows together, quilt, bind and DONE!!! Isn't she so pretty?! The perfect lap size coming in at 51" x 59"! And perfect to make EASILY in a weekend or ONE dedicated day to quilting! Whose RUNNING to their sewing room and grabbing their favorite 5" and 10" Stackers to make their very own NO CUT - NO TRIM Block-in-a-Block quilt? I see quite a few hands raised. You're Welcome! Happy NO CUT - NO TRIM Quilting! Gerri
I knew I wanted to make this quilt when I first saw it on Pinterest. It was credited to Camille Roskelley; I bought her book "Simplify", but this quilt wasn't there, so I decided that the piecing was simple enough I could probably wing it. Had a layer cake and a jelly roll of this very pretty line from Wilmington plus a white Moda jelly roll -- totally ready to go! Each block measures 14" before the sashing to make the plus signs is sewn on; I made 30 blocks to set 5x6 and then decided that would be bigger than I wanted. Picked out my 10 least favorite blocks, set them aside and arranged the 20 keepers 4x5. As it is, with a 1-1/2" finished pink border and a 6" border of the butterfly print it will finish out at about 75"x91". I'll get the rest of the border on tonight and then finish piecing the back -- started with a panel from the same line and added 8 of the 10 blocks taken from the quilt. I don't love it enough to make it into a standalone quilt, but it will be an interesting back! I tossed it over the stair rail, so here's a pic of the bottom half. I'll take better pictures tomorrow. Do you love pieced backs? Or is it too much work? I'd love to hear what you think!
