Baby Quilt – Quilt Along Video 2

Baby Quilt – Quilt Along Video #2

1. Place all the blocks on  your Design Wall and if you’re going for the Ombre look be sure to place the darker fabrics at the top.
2.  Label the first block on each row 1 – 9 and label every other row with the word “UP” to remind you to press the seams up on those rows and down on the ones not labeled “up”.
3. Start with Row 1 and make sure the grain of fabric is in the same direction on each square (repeat on all the rows).
4.  Sew the blocks together, place block 2 to block one right sides facing each other and sew with a 1/4″ seam.  Repeat on all blocks.  In the video I pinned in the entire first row … but I do not pin them normally (if you are beginner … pin them!).

Special  note:  I used my Brother sewing machine for those of you that wanted to see how it works.

To make the Baby Quilt you will need the following:

• Layer Cake or Fat Quarters with 6 Patterns
• If you use a Layer Cake … you want one that has two of each pattern
• 1 Charm Pack (solid color that coordinates) I’ll be using White
• Backing Fabric – 2-1/2 yards
• Binding Fabric – 1/3 yard
• Matching Thread
• I will have my quilt finished by my longarm quilter and she provides the batting.
• Basic Sewing supplies (scissors, sewing machine, etc)

The Fabric I’m using is Dream and a Wish Sandra Workman Designs by Riley Blake.
