Adding Angles to Blocks

Adding Angles to Blocks

When a pattern shows these angles, 

we use squares, place them right sides together on the square 

and mark the sewing line,

 sew, trim and press.

 Adding rectangles is a little more difficult but here goes.   Mark the edge of the seam allowance on the block and the rectangle.

 Line up the two pieces, sew and press.

Prairie Points

Prairie Points

 This finishing technique can really dress up your quilt.

1.  Cut 3 inch strips in the lengths that you require.  Fold each strip in half and press.

2.  Open strip up and on the wrong side of the fabric mark on the right side of fold, mark from fold to outer edge a line every 3 inches on the other side mark the first one 1 1/2 inch in and then 3 inch spaces.

3. Cut the 1 1/2 inch square off, and then cut on the lines for the rest.

4. With the wrong side up fold the top corners down to create triangles and the bottom ones up to also create triangles.  Press.

 

5.  Fold the tips of all these triangles down to create another smaller triangle.  Fold back row triangle to front and fold front triangles to the back.  Press.  Fold the bottom half up to the top.

6.  Baste along the bottom edge.

7.  To attach trim the batting so that the seam allowance is empty.  Fold quilt backing over batting and under the front.  Fold the front under and press.  Place the prairie points between the front and back and pin in place.  Sew.
