QAYG Finishing Up Pt 8

[QuiltyTina]

The sizes for the strips are found in the CrazyShortcuts Book by Marguerita McManus.

I enjoyed your video, but what size are the strips that you're using, are they different sizes for the top and back? Thanks, Teresa

Would love to see more close ups and maybe a bit less actual stitching time though Super Video!! Nothing beats actually watching the block go together step by step. I'm off to find the Crazy Shortcut Quilts book :-) Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

I also would like to know what the width of the strips are that you are using. Loralye2 thinks 1-1/2 inch, but if you're using 1/4 inch seam, that leaves an entire 1-1/4 inch to cover the other side. I'm thinking 3/4-1 inch. Don't keep us guessing, Tina. This is a great video and has helped me immensely. Thanks.

[Loralye2]

Sorry Tina, I was assuming both sides were the same size strips. Can you tell me the size strips for both sides? Thanks!

[Loralye2]

Hello Tina and great videos. Can you tell us what size your strips are? They look to be about 1 1/2" wide. Is that correct?

[QuiltyTina]

@Loralye2 It depends on which ones. The top or bottom?

This is a great video except that it would have been nice if the camera did some close ups of when you attached the blocks together. It was hard to see everything. I am going to try it tho and see if I can do it. Thanks Tina, I know it is hard to please everyone.

[QuiltyTina]

@upwards11 I will see if we can't do a close up on this next project coming up.

[Savtax2]

On the front sash, don't you have a raw edge?

[QuiltyTina]

@Savtax2 Yes, the front is not folded in half like the sash in the back.  But, when the blocks are sewn together there is no raw edge.

Thanks so much Tina, this is really great, it all makes so much sense now from having seen your video! I just need to clean up my sewing room before my next project! :) its great to see practical ways of making bigger quilts with careful detail on a home machine. Thank you!!

Is that a raw edge on the front binding? I like to see the edge like on the back but it is hard to see if you "tucked" the front red binding piece under when you ironed it (?) or did you leave the raw edge and just stitch over it?

[avonlady777]

I really enjoyed these videos, Tina. I actually ordered the Crazy Shortcut Quilts book online a couple days ago and can't wait to get it. I really need to get that binding thing down. Looks good in back but can't get it right in the front. Anyway, thanks for the videos - VERY helpful!

Very helpful. If you could add a few closeups of what you are doing, it would add a great deal.
