Making May Quilt Block Patterns

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

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.

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.

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.
