Description
In this video Valerie shows you how you can use up (large) scraps of wadding and give yourself a perfect size project to practice your machine quilting skills on.
Quilting-as-you-Go
With this method of contructing your quilt you do need to pre-think a lot more – i.e. which blocks are going where and have wadding, backing and sashing strips ready – but as thin sections this quilt is easy to handle.
Quilting Options
You can practice your free motion quilting or you could simply quilt straight lines across the block and/or simple wavy lines using the walking foot and a straight stitch.
Stitch and Thread Options
You could think about embellishing with some decorative stitches too and using some really pretty statement threads.
Helen Deighan has a neat trick for creating straight sashing with the help of an iron
and the binding had straight corners (not mitred) and you can see how by clicking here:
