I have all my rows put together and am so pleased with not only the directions bout how the quilt is looking. I even got my quilting foot today. I'm glad I've got the next two days off because I don't think I want to stop until I'm finished, besides the shower is next Saturday!

I finally found this (seems EASY) pattern.. first I've been happy with the layout that I could actually do (I'm a newbie) I don't know if I've missed it somewhere, but how did you finish the edges? Do you have a pic of how you finished the back? Also (sorry for all the questions) having a shop machine quilt is $$$. Do you- if so and how- free-hand quilt on your home machine? my mom's has the capabilities, I just can't imagine how to get all that thick, big quilt in the middle to go through?? what tricks are there?

Does it matter? I put the blocks on the right side on top, and the left side on bottom of my stack, but then when I went to sew them it my layout didn't work out.

We are s...Hoo boy, I am already confusing people!!<br /><br />We are sewing each row together separately in this step -- just doing two at the same time so we can chain piece. By the time you get to the end of my explanation, your row 1 will be all sewn together, and your row 2 will be all sewn together.<br /><br />If it is easier for you to do it a different way, or without trying to chain piece, then by all means -- do it whichever way makes most sense to you!! Even if it means you will label every square to keep track! :o)Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830428131828226061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-19568439908048534732010-04-26T11:47:56.542-06:002010-04-26T11:47:56.542-06:00I want to make sure I've got this right.

Is there a reason you dont sew each piece in the row together first, then sew the 7 rows together??rhinseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581313883610015454noreply@blogger.com
