String Pieced Applique Part 3

3/4/2017

 
I am making progress on my string pieced applique quilt.  

While playing with the design in Electric Quilt, I learned a few new items on working with quilting designs that totally blew me away.


In this weeks Electric Quilt tutorial, I will share them with you.

I will also share my piecing and quilting progress (along with instructions for creating your own string pieced applique quilt).

Class Updates

I have been busy finalizing the material for the next two classes. There are so many projects in these classes, I have been struggling with how best to share them with you.  These short videos will hopefully provide a snapshot to aid in your review.

String Pieced Applique Constructing and Quilting the Base

Cut 4-1/2" segments from the border strip sets.

Combine 4-1/2" segments.

Press.  I like to use lots of steam for this.  

​Complete the following Border Segments:
  • 4-1/2" x 30-1/2"  (make 2)
  • 4-1/2" x 38-1/2" (make 2)
​
Picture
Cut Background 30-1/2" x 30-1/2".

Add 30-1/2" borders to 2 sides.  
Add 38-1/2" borders to the other 2 sides.
Picture
Quilt a background filler.  On a domestic machine, cross-hatching works well.  On a longarm machine, I like to do zigzags.

Go ahead and quilt the borders as well. I used a design that came with my Intelliquilter called Ying Yang Border.  It was designed by Helen Baczynski.

Cross Hatch 1 inch spacing on 30 inch background square. This could easily be adjusted to 2 inch for a less intense design.

I have some ideas on attaching the string pieced circles -- but that will need to wait until next week.

Happy quilting.

That was so clever! I noticed that not only did the black lines go away but they now actually look like quilting stitches!

*Now wouldn't it be SO COOL- - -if it could be saved somehow and plugged into your longarm quilting machine to read those designs and any others! Think of the great advantage that would be!!!
