We are adjusting our blocks for
the machine pieced Mix and Match Sampler Quilt. The 1/4-inch seam really needs
to be “scant” 1/4 inch to achieve a completed 12 1/2-inch sampler block that is
needed for accurate alignment of the 12-inch finished block sampler quilt.
Our blocks pattern sources are
quilting books and online block patterns. We put this design together, block by
block with a goal of completing a Mix and Match Sampler Quilt consisting of
12-inch blocks that are traditional quilting designs. It has been a learning
experience in terms of accurately cutting and ensuing the correct seam when
machine piecing.
We have both used two or three
different machines and different quilting feet! In the end, it is crucial to
check the 1/4-inch seam throughout machine piecing. After completing the block,
it is important to size up the block with a quilt square tool to ensure the
block measures 12 ½ inches.
We have both corrected a few
blocks and/or made new ones. Here is Mid's new Ohio Star!
