Sunflower

This is a quilt that I first wanted to do I just didn't know what exactly I wanted to do. So then my Mom wanted to do This particular quilt with me. So she took the initiative to decide on a pattern and design on the quilt. I did all the measurements and math for ALL the little pieces that needed to be cut out. Our dear friend and fellow quilter has a whole room (no literally a whole room) full of material (she used to own a quilt shop) and lets us come over to pick out material for this quilt.

The main reason for this post is to show you a little of the process to do sashings. Once you have your blocks put together into block form and have all the sashing pieces cut out it is vitally important to lay out the quilt and figure out how you are going to put it all together because there are a variety of methods, one of which I show you here.

So here we are laying out all the pieces.


Now it is all sewn together.


Be sure to measure both sides to get the correct measurement for the border.


Can't say I'm never in the pictures.... that's my arm!!


Do you have little on lookers? Well a good pass time for them could be play dough.
