[Nfb-krafters-korner] quilt blocks

[Terry Knox]

Joyce,

Thank you, I think. I have used Keepsake before and have 9 inch squares
already. That is the good thing, bad, I am a little slow, I do not
understand your sewing instructions. I understand cutting the squares into 4
what am I sewing onto what. The little squares on to the muslin where,
adding a center, and tacking down muslin, I am confused. Can you explain
sewing once again so I can maybe understand differently.
Thanks  also, I have rotor cutter but what do you call grid for cutting?

Terry K

Quilt blocks or quilt tops you can sew by hand.  I new this friend of  my
Mom's that sewed quilts by hand.  One of them that I did try was the
Cathedral  window.  You start off with a large square of muslin and  sew a
couple of short edges by hand or machine and then it comes out to be a
smaller square.with seams working out in 4 directions on the back from
center.  You then place in the center of this square a smaller square of
colorful fabric.[I purchased 10 inch squares from a quilt shop[Keepsake
Quilting  online].  I would cut the 10 inch square into 4 equal squares.[2
1/2 inche  square]  I think I used 9 inch muslin squares, but don't hold me
to it.]  Then by hand you take the outer edges of the muslin square [which
are folded  edges] and by hand sew these rounded edges to the colorful edges
or like 1/4  inch in and whip stitch it down.  OH I forgot once the colorful
square is  pinned in the center of the square you bring the 4 corners of the
muslin block  and tack it down in the center.
