Quilt Designed & Made by Art Gallery Studios Finished Quilt Size 80" x 88" Number of Blocks & Finished Size 36 Block Y 8" x 8" 49 Block Z 8" x 8" Plan Basic blocks create a complex jewel of a quilt, with matching sets of blocks interacting with one another in a dazzling display. The construction is simple; the hardest part is arranging the blocks before sewing them together, so a vertical design wall will be very helpful. This pattern uses the Fast Flying Geese technique for speedy units that don’t waste any fabric. You’ll create 4 matching units at a time, though you’ll need just 3 units in some cases. Use the leftover blocks to make matching pillow shams, or blocks to use on the back of the…

Quilt Designed by Melanie Greseth & Joanie Holton Sewn by Julie Jergen Machine Quilted by Naomi Polzin Finished Quilt Size 65 ½" x 75 ½" Plan Use a combination of simple piecing and strip piecing to take a short cut to a quilt full of wonder and beauty. In order to make the strip piecing work efficiently, you’ll use a few partial band segments in which the seams are unpicked. It’s an extra step that will save time in the long run, an oxymoron straight out of Wonderland. A vertical design wall will be especially helpful for organizing band segments and patches before construction. Use an accurate ¼" seam allowance throughout to ensure all elements of the quilt fit together well. Note that the border 2 sides are narrower than…

Stitch & Flip is a valuable and versatile technique to have in your sewing repertoire. Using the technique with strips rather than squares increases your skills and design possibilities exponentially. There are just a few differences to keep in mind while incorporating strips in this technique. For best results, mark a 45-degree line on a strip to be sewn with stitch-and-flip. If you attempt to estimate the angle without marking, you can end up with wavy sew lines and uneven raw edges on the joined strips, which will affect construction of the overall pattern. To mark the sew line on a strip, refer to the Marking Diagram. Place a strip on a flat surface with the wrong side facing up. Align the 45-degree mark on ruler with the long raw…
