Serger Quilt

by 2 Comments

Last week I purchased a Juki Serger MO 654DE and I decided to make a Serger Quilt the minute it arrived.   (Yes, I wanted the Bernina serger but I needed to make sure it was a machine that I would use.)

Juki serger

Here’s the story ….

I made this Serger Quilt by watching about ten different videos….. none of the instructions were helpful in all areas of the quilt so I had to search.  By the end of the quilt …. I had made so many changes it’s safe to say it’s my doing (does that make sense?).

Serger-Quilt-Flat

I used my Juki Serger and a Walking Foot with my Bernina.  You can make this quilt without a Serger but you must have a Walking Foot because the layers are thick!

I cut two strips each of five designs that measure 6 (or 6-1/2) x WOF (WOF is width of fabric).  Then I cut 8 strips of White Fabric by the same measurements.

Serger-Quilt-Start

I serged the strips together with the batting and the back fabric … stitched in the ditch … and then I stitch to the left and the right of seam.  Just typing all that sounds so confusing … which is why I will film a video!  For my benefit and yours 🙂

This was my first very attempt at binding and now I know why I pay my long arm quilter to do it for me!!  I am determined to master it~

Serger-Quilt-

Now for some honestly … I need to go to cutting fabric school!  I don’t like cutting strips of fabric that exceed my cutting mat because I  never cut straight.   So …. I have an idea on how to change this quilt …. by using smaller pieces of fabric.  I will play with that on vacation!!

Serger-Quilt-Complete

This quilt measures 36 x 51 and it’s the perfect size for a child!

Gotta run … we leave for vacation in a few days and I have a million things to do!!

p.s. I re-read my post … I think I’m a little scattered today 🙂

Daysail Jelly Roll Quilt

by 4 Comments

I have another Jelly Roll Quilt to share with you and this one was for my Aunt Cecilia.

Day Sail Jelly Roll Quilt

I called her this past winter and ask for her favorite colors …. which was Red, Blue and White.

Next I called my sister Kim and we both got on the Missouri Quilt Company and the Fat Quarter Shop websites and starting looking at fabric (she’s in Tennessee, I’m in Kansas but we made it work).

We looked for an hour and finally determined that the Daysail by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics would be perfect.  The funny thing is at the time I thought it’s nice but not my colors … boy was I wrong.  Once it was finished I’m wishing I had made one for me too (for the lakehouse).

It’s been a couple months since my last post ….   between Dave’s surgeries and mine … Brooke’s graduation, our trip (then jetlag), etc … lets just say I feel like I’m on a fast moving roller coaster and every day zooms right past me.

I’m sewing a little … but not a lot.  Most of the quilts I’m going to share with you over the next month were the ones I made last fall/winter for my family (family quilts for 2015 has carried over to 2016 as the list grew).  I shared most of the quilt tops and now I need to share the finished product.

I hope you’re all doing well!

Raw Edges Square Quilt – Quilt Along

Raw Edges Squares Quilt

To make the Raw Edges Square Quilt you will need the following:

  • One Layer Cake
  • One Charm Pack
  • One Mini Charm Pack
  • The Layer Cake, Charm Pack and Mini Charm Pack are all of the same fabric line
  • Backing Fabric – 4-1/2 yard
  • Binding Fabric – 1/2 yard
  • Matching Thread
  • Glue Stick
  • I will have my quilt finished by my long arm quilter and she provides the batting.

I’m using Prairie Corey Yoder of Little Miss Shabby by Moda Fabric.

My first Raw Edges Square Quilt was made with Ambleside.

Raw Edges Square Quilt –  Quilt Along  Video 1

  • Use a table or the floor and lay out all 42 Charm Squares.
  • Place one Mini Charm Square on top of all 42 Charm Squares.
  • Optional: you can decide your vertical rows at this point … just remember to number them!
  • Once  you’re happy with the placement, use a Glue Stick and attach the Mini Charm to the Charm Square and sew along the edge of the Mini Charm with a 1/4 seam.

I found this Quilt Pattern over on Moda Bake Shop and the original name is Scruffily Quilt by Rachel Griffith.  I’ve made some changes to the pattern … but not enough to say this is my original idea.  I have a feeling we may be making more quilts from the Moda Bake Shop  website … they have some pretty awesome tutorials!

Sweetheart Baby Quilt

Sweetheart Baby Quilt

I’m excited to share my latest quilt with you!

It’s a baby quilt and I made it for my nephews new baby (she should be here soon).

I used the Sweetheart Charm Pack by David Walker for Free Spirit Fabrics.

Because the Charm Pack comes with both pink and blue I decided to buy two packs so I could remove all the blue and have just pink, yellow and green.  Now I have enough fabric to make another one … for a boy.

The squares measure 5″ and I made 7 rows for a total of 49 blocks.  Once I sewed them together I added a White Jelly Roll strip to the top, bottom and both sides.

It measures 36 x 36 …  perfect for a brand new baby!

I share more pictures when I get it back from my long arm quilter.

See ya!
