As far as sewing goes I am definitely a beginner, but as long as I have step by step directions of whateber I am doing I can sew it. I have sewed my daughter a few blankets and also a pillowcase dress. But I am ready for a bigger and better project. My cousin is due with her 1st baby in August, we are planning a shower for her the middle of July, which means I have a month and a half to complete my quilt. I wanted to make her a quilt because for one I just enjoy the being able to give somebody something that for one didn’t come form wal-mart and two they can cherish and know that it was handmade. I have read online a few on different sites but I have a few questions on some. What is a scant seam? If I want to make just a simple bock quilt made up of around 24 squares (I don’t have a pattern) How do I go about measuring how big my blocks need to be etc…? If someone could give me step by step instructions (quilting for dummies if you will) I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You
Clare’s answer is excellent. A scant 1/4" seam is one or two threads less than 1/4" wide.
Here is a link to a page with approximate dimensions of quilt sizes from preemie to toddler: http://www.quilterscache.com/StartQuiltingPages/startquiltingtwo.html
These vary from 18 x 20 all the way up to 40 x 60; my point is that precise dimensions aren’t important on a baby quilt.
Let’s assume you cut 24 blocks that are 8" square. Lay out your blocks in the design you want, 4 squares wide by 6 squares deep. Sew the squares of each row in order, using 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seams of rows 1,3, and 5 to the left and rows 2,4,and 6 to the right. Now sew row 1 to row 2, then row 2 to row 3, and so on. The seams between blocks will butt up and nest together, making it easy to match the vertical line. Press the finshed quilt top well.
After sewing these together with 1/4" seam, each block is 7-1/2" square, and the final quilt top is 30" x 45".
Cut a piece of backing fabric and a piece of batting a few inches larger than the quilt top. Lay the backing, right side down, on a flat surface such as a table and smooth it out. I recommend holding the corners down with masking tape to keep it in place. Now smooth the batting in place over it, then the quilt top. Starting in the quilt center, use safety pins every 4 – 6" to baste the quilt sandwich together. Now you can machine quilt, hand quilt or tie the layers together.
Trim all the edges so they are even, and sew binding around all the sides of the quilt. Here is a link to binding directions: http://www.quilterscache.com/StartQuiltingPages/startquiltingfive.html
Trim all the loose threads, and you have a finished quilt that your cousin will treasure.
How do you draw a hexagon without a compass?
Author: admin
I am making a "Grandmother’s Garden" quilt and I do not have a printer to print out sheets of them. I remember somewhere there were instructions on how to draw a hexagon with only a coin and a pencil…does anyone know how to do this?
Use two pins and a piece of string as a compass..
For the coins Trace the outline of a coin for the centre. Important! Keep the pencil straight up and down thorughout this whole process!
Place the coin carefully on the circle.and outside of it. Trace the coin again so that the circles touch at only one point. Place the coin again outside, so that it touches the circles drawn, and again trace so that the circles touch at only one point. Continue on around the centre circle, until you have drawn the seventh, which should now touch three circles at one point. Using a straight edge, draw a common tangent to two outside circles, and continue around the figure until you have the six-sided figure you want.
Careful attention to the placement of the coin will ensure a good result for the hexagon.

It takes a lot to phase me
i’m pretty stable
i’m pretty sane but..
i’m looking at my future
and, god, do i have to lose her?
we share conversations on
how we’re all just floating
through space and nothing matters
i’m looking for a pattern
is it possible to say
"baby, let’s run away to the east coast
or seatlle
compass or st. marcus"
i’ve got a credit card
and a reliable car
let’s drive…to pennsylvania
madi, dear, can’t we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers’ romances?
put our money where our mouth is
madi, dear, can’t we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers’ romances?
put our money where our mouth is
it takes a lot to make pretty anger
and very sad
and i’m looking towards the outcome
there must some hidden reason
we share kisses upside down
and on your old quilt
by your computer
i was hoping
your garage as it opened
is there anyway
you can change schools and stay
up here in fort worth
