Round 2 = borders for our quilt tops!
The girls had sooo much fun making these quilts! Miss V even bought more fabric and made a 2nd quilt (w/ lite greens & browns).
I’m so excited they are excited about quilting.
We meet in 2 weeks to sandwich the quilts. Then they get to start quilting!
Today was a fun day in the Vine & Branch Sewing Group! We tackled our first big quilt! 4 girls, lots of strips of fabric, and loads of fun. The quilt pattern we made is called the 1600 Quilt. You take @ 40 strips of fabric, 2 1/2” x WOF (width of fabric), sew the strips end to end, till you have one long strip measuring 1600”. That’s a strip that measures over 133 FEET! Wow! Sew & flip, sew & flip, and there you go! We’re waiting to receive a picture of the fourth finished quilt! Next week, we’ll add borders and sandwich. I’ll show them how to quilt it and send them home. The week after, we’ll bind. I dislike binding, but that’s ok!
