Set your seams and press them. Press your seams to the dark side.
Place row 2 right sides together to row 1, pin it and sew with a 1/4 seam.
Repeat with rows 3 & 4, 5 & 6 and then add row 7 at the end. Once you’ve sewn all two rows together then sew all of them together.
Add sashing to the left of row 1, pin and sew it.
Add sashing to the top of the Quilt and the bottom, pin and sew it with a 1/4 seam.
Measure your quilt for the Backing Fabric, Batting and Binding Fabric.

It measures 59 x 67 and will need 4-5/8 yards of Backing Fabric (& Batting) and 1/2 yard of fabric for the Binding.

Next up … I’ll be taking it to my longarm quilter to finish!

See ya!

Square up your blocks (or rectangles) using a ruler with a rotary cutter. Be careful and make sure you cut only what’s necessary.
Pin and sew vertical rows. Start with Row 1, make sure the white rectangle is at the bottom, place right sides together and sew a 1/4″ seam. Your last block will be the square that does not have sashing. Repeat on all seven rows.
Pin sashing to each row and sew at 1/4 seam. Repeat on all rows.
Trim the extra fabric using a rotary cutter and ruler.

We’ll wrap up the Lulu Roses Quilt Along tomorrow with Video #5.

See ya!

Place a white rectangle (2-1/2 x 6-1/2) to each square (6-1/2 x 6-1/2) … right sides facing each other and sew at a 1/4″.
Please remember you do not sew a rectangle to the bottom row of squares.
Set the seams and press the seams to the dark side.
Take the 20 Sashing Strips and sew 10 of them to the other 10 with a 1/4″. Trim the salvage first. Press the seams open on these strips (it will look better on the finished quilt).

Next up … We’ll square up our fabric …. it may be a week or so before Video #4.

See ya!

Lulu Roses Quilt Along Video 2

Watch this video from beginning to end and then start cutting (to make sure you understand).
Make sure the grain of fabric is going in the same direction (see video).
Open your Jelly Roll and set aside 20 strips for the Sashing.
Cut 49 pieces that measure 2-1/2 x 6-1/2 (it already measures 2-1/2 so you only have to cut it 6-1/2). You get six out of one Jelly Roll strip so you will need 9 strips but you’ll only make one cut on the 9th piece.
Determine your first row and label it with numbered pins or post it notes.

Next up … we’ll be sewing the rectangles to the bottom of the squares (but not on the bottom row).

See ya!
