This is the second quilt I made for our first grandchild. Designed around a simple Friendship pattern is taken in a new direction, from its basic form turns into a fun and wonderful. That’s the reason for it’s name, One Quilt Block Twelve Ways. Each block has a finished size of Twelve-by-Twelve Inches and you have a total of Twelve patterns. The finished quilt uses all the patterns and is 54″ x 76″ when finished.
Lay your started binding down, press side up. Take your Holding Strip and lay on top, Pin into your ironing board cover next to the bias tape.
Pull the bias tape
And, with a hot, dry iron press, at first do a bit, and lift iron, pull and iron.
As the tape becomes longer you can leave the iron and pull slowly. (Other side view)
Pull tape slowly
Good side of bias tape.
I like to roll mine to keep it until I’m ready to use it. I learned this years ago from a Home Eco. teacher in the 70’s No need to buy a machine to do this for you ! But, you can if you like !
