Feather Fun Today 5-13-14

Hi fellow quilters.  I had so much fun today quilting this cute little sample for my Grid it&Stitch it class.  This looks complicated but I just grid out the space, mark the grid space and find the circles and ovals that fit the space.  Next I Stitch it out!!

Ok so first measure the width if the border and mark the center grid line.  Don't forget off set 1/4 inch for the binding.  As you can see in the picture.  I actually draw a line where the binding will stitch.  I'm a (wide quilter)! I will stitch all the way over to the edge if I don't give myself a guide.

Next measure the length of the border.  Do not include the corner area.  Now divide by 5.  That will give you the measurement for the cross grid line.

Now I stitch the spine and fill with Feathers.  

Come learn how to Grid it and Stitch it with me.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Quilting Heidi
