We are using the hashtag #winterflakequiltSAL on the social media for all the pictures during this quilt-along.

This week it's all about the quilt assembly and with these large blocks, it will go very fast!

While my throw size was so easy to assemble, there are baby and bed size of the pattern that are assembled on the diagonal or "on-point" layout, so I explained a few possible troubleshooting issues in the video.

My quilt pattern testers mainly chose to create this small size and you can check out their versions HERE.

There's only one last week left where I will share with you my process of finishing the quilt.

Bye till then,

Katarina

This week we are here to finally start assembling the blocks and you can also find all the needed informations with diagrams on the page 9 in the pattern.

 

You will see how surprisingly easy it will be, now that we have all the quarters and inner borders assembled and have cut all the big, 12.5" squares and rectangles in fabric A. 

I hope that you enjoyed this episode and that you have found something useful in my videos!

Winterflake quilt SAL-week 3

Hello and welcome to the 3^rd week of our Winterflake quilt sew-along and thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Fabric + pattern giveaway!

As we assembled strips sets and have cut the strip units last week: this week, we are talking about quarter blocks making, which are needed to assemble the snowflake, I mean Winterflake blocks 1 and 2.

Here are the previous posts if you are catching up only now:

- INTRODUCTION

- WEEK 1: choosing & cutting fabrics

- WEEK 2: making strip sets

You can get my Winterflake quilt pattern any time and make this quilt pattern at your own pace!

We are using the hashtag #winterflakequiltSAL for all the pictures during this quilt-along.

This week we are here to finally start assembling the blocks, I mean block’s quarters, that you can also find on the pages 6, 7 and 8 in the pattern.

 

You will see how surprisingly easy it will be, now that we have all the units cut and strip units assembled. 

 

The basic, log cabin structure of quarters of quilt blocks 1 and 2 is a centre shape surrounded by strips, or “logs”. Use the table on the page 6 to create the required  number of blocks and   inner border units for your quilt size.

 

Using the diagrams provided in the pattern and paying close attention to the orientation of the Strip Set units, pin and sew logs.

We are starting with the simple 3.5” square in fabric C for the quarter 1, while

for the quarter 2, we are starting with the 3.5” square in fabric H.

We are making the quarter 1 in the video.

 

 

As you can see, the most important thing with sewing these log cabin structured blocks is to keep precise ¼” seam allowance, as with basically every quilt block.

I am sure that from this you can easily obtain all the blocks and assembly your quilt top too, but we will leave that for the next week. 

 

I hope that you enjoyed this shorter episode and that you found something useful in my videos!

 

Happy 4^th of July to all of you celebrating and see you next week!
