Fun & Done Quilt Patterns
June 19th, 2009
Fun & Done Quilt Patterns from Prairie Sky Quilting are just that. Fun to make – you can see you quilt come together right before your eyes. And they are Done before you know it. Finish the top and you are Done!
If you stopped at Prairieland Quilts during the shop hop that’s going on now, then you may have seen Suzanne demonstrate this easy quilt-as-you-go method. (And there’s still time! The shop hop is going until the end of the day tomorrow.)
The Batting Budding is a template that will make the process easier but you can make one of these quilts without it, too. Use the outer template to cut your backing; use the inner template to cut your batting. Lay down your backing, then use the outer template again to help center the batting on the backing.
Then start sewing your top pieces on. There are templates included in the patterns to get you started. After you complete one block, you trim the top and the batting; you’ll have backing extending beyond the block. The excess backing will be use to sew the blocks together.
After you have a row of blocks sewn together the backing between the blocks is folded over to each side with the raw edges under the fold and these pieces are top-stitched down.
See? Almost done! The rows are sewn together. The backing is brought around to the front all along the edges, turned under and topstitched to create the binding. And now you ARE done!
Here’s a finished Fun & Done Quilt . . .
If you’re ready to try this there are a dozen patterns from which to choose.
