How to Tie a Quilt with Yarn

This quilt post just keeps going and going. I’m re-posting it as I think to tie a quilt is a quick way to finish a quilt which is to be loved and used. 

As with everything I’m sure there are a few ways of doing a tied quilt, this is the way “I” do it.

How to tie a quilt using yarn I use these needles, sometimes a larger one and sometimes not. After doing them I really think it’s how I feel that day ! 
How to tie a quilt using yarnI like to use, “Peaches and Cream” yarn, soft but NOT TOO soft, it has to be to hold the knot.

Making May Quilt Block Patterns

Simple three by three inch quilt pattern book

I like changing things and doing the different, today is a three by three inch quilt pattern for you, complete quilt pattern is here for you. 

 

When sewing the pieces in a smaller quilt pieces, as this quilt pattern is. I do everything just as IF it was a regular size quilt block. I cut with a rotary cutter, sew on my sewing machine, and press. The ONLY thing different is I trim my 1/4 inch seam allowance for just about 1/8 of an inch and press. REMEMBER, to press with a hot iron, UP and DOWN, you do not want to stretch the cotton.

My First Complete Quilt – Old but Pretty Good

I started quilting years and years ago, 30+ years. This is my first quilt, I had started with pillow tops. I took a class in Burlington, Iowa. Which was taught by Liz Porter, at the time she was working for Better Homes and Garden, was speaking on the weekends. This was a bring 2 1/2″ squares, share with all, and do color gradation. a one day class.  See my quilt patterns

My first quilt

We all start someplace, I didn’t know how to do corners or how to do a double binding. We are all new once. I love this quilt, it’s home to me, it’s been packed, moved, taken, machine washed and dried for years. I will not mend or fix anything on it. It’s like me, old but still pretty good. 

My first quilt My first quilt

BUT, what I did know how to do was hand quilt. All those pillows I made.  Hearts in each square and straight line on the outside edges. 

My first quilt

I see and hear it all the time about being perfect with your quilt making. Stop it !  DON’T be perfect, DO ! !  Do it wrong, do it right, but DO it.
