Did you know that is takes math to sew a quilt? Maybe this is why I proclaim to NOT be an expert, I don't really like math. But I did enough to make this quilt, come to find out, I really did not do it right because I was working with scraps. But I still LOVE this quilt!
See I did the math...
My favorite pattern is subway and it is pretty easy, so that is what I went with. I did my math and then cut the fabric I had with my cutting matte and rotary cutter. Then I laid it out like this...
Then I sewed together the horizontal rows.
Then I sewed the strips together...you get the picture?
Then I put laid the batting out. I used a thin batting and then I even split that. I would have used just a sheet of flannel because it is almost summer and I wanted a quilt as thin as possible. But I did not have any extra flannel on hand.
I put the front and back together and sewed around it, left a little bit open so I could turn inside out. Then I sewed all the way around again to give it an edge.
I finished it off by sewing a free form flower on the quilt. I sewed all the way through front and back. This is what makes it a quilt right? And keeps it together :)
Happy quilting,
Christie
Such pretty colors, and I love the flower quilting you did!
