Mystery Quilt with Sylvia Critcher - Part 2
New Year Mystery Quilt Series Designed by Sylvia Critcher • Educational, G, 01-Jan-2017
In this section Sylvia talks you through what to cut, what to sew and how to make the sashing for the blocks, plus getting the cornerstones ready.
She does suggest watching the whole thing through before embarking on any cutting, and this might also help you with colour selection.
Sylvia has some great tips on design and on seam pressing, sometimes open and sometimes closed.
You are asked to get the sashing ready, audition it to the blocks to make sure that you are happy with the colours and fabrics you have selected. If you can take a photo as this might be a helpful reference later, but do not sew anything into place at this stage – that will be next.
