Cut half vertically and then half again horizontally.  A lot of cutting and pressing and sewing after this!!  But it's fun watching how the pattern come together.

Then just swap the light n dark solid print around. Do that for the other 3 half triangle blocks...

This is a very easy pattern.  All we need to do is to sew the dark and light fabrics right sides together around the 4 edges of the 10 x 10 fabrics.  Then cut diagonally both ways.

Half and half

I was watching the tutorial by Missouri Star Quilt Company and it seemed easy enough a quilt to make using layer cakes.

Actually, I have two sets of the same layer cake fabric which I had intended to make a king size quilt.  Thinking somebody's birthday is around the corner, I decided to make a blanket out of one set of the layer cake.

The other plain colour fabric, I chose a printed creamy colour from my fabric stash..:-)

I finished quilting this quilt and passed it to my sister.  She did the binding and added a label which I embroidered too.

I can't remember if I have a picture of the embroidery label... need to do a search in the photo gallery!!

After ditch quilting, I decided that the blocks look very plain so I just added some quilting on it...

For the sashing, I did feather quilting... and also the outer border bigger  feather quilting.....hahhahahah

This is the first time I am doing quilting on my new baby, DX7.  Got this machine for Christmas!!  It was either an iPhone X or this... the answer was easy....hahhahahaha

With this sewing machine, the standard stitch is 2.4.  I had to tweak it to 1.8 or 1.6   I fancy the factory setting is a bit too wide for my liking.  Stitches are a bit wonky so I had to play with the top tension to get what I want.  Other than that, it is  very good machine!!

I decided to do ditch quilting with the even foot.  It is very fast n very easy with the starting reverse stitch and the ending stitch all done by the machine.  No messy threads!!

Min's Quilt

This is Min and Adam's quilt.  My sister, Adeline, pieced it all together.  My job is just to quilt it!!

I put the quilt on the table top and basted it with lots and lots of safety pins.  Just have to make sure there are no pluckers here and there.

Decided to do very simple quilting on the quilt...
