QUILTERS – help – they just not fair!?
I am making a quilt from the graduation of my niece. The pattern alternates 1 7 large / 2 squares of batik with four-inch squares of black and white. So far, so good. All batiks are cut, and the four-patch squares are sewn with standard 1 / 4 inch seams. The model called for 3 1 / 2 tickets to catch the four patches. So now I have all of these four patches that are 1 / 2 larger in two dimensions the squares of batik … and the only way I can explore ways to resolve this problem so that they have the same size as the batik is carefully cut off 1 / 4 inch off each side of the four patches. We speak 50 of them. The best way to do this? Time is of the essence, I not much time to spare for sewing start, and now it put me further behind – with the quilt and binding to be done! (Needless to say, I am stitching in the ditch, if I ever get there!)
I do not know how it ended like that, but at this stage, it does nothing. Time to punt! Quilter Use a ruler and a rotary knife to shave the seats bigger so that they correspond to the smallest. Good luck. It looks like a quilt very nice ..
