Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

Pat Sloan's In the Summer Time Border

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

Time to add a border to our Summer Time quilt and enjoy it!

The Layout!!  Super easy and scrap busting to boot! 

I have a video tip for you about sewing borders onto a quilt. 

If you have points, it's better to sew with the top facing you rather than the border facing you.

Even when it's a thin border, I want to be able to see my top and line up so I don't chop off my points!

I hope this was a helpful video!

I loved using up a lot of the fabric in the border. I kept the border the light & medium fabrics. I will bind in the Navy dot.

NEXT week on Wednesday I'll have a Quilt Show post so you can enter your quilt top photo and I'll have a random number giveaway. You will have 4 week(starting today) to get your top done!

The color differences are

• Yellow & Pink are IDENTICAL except color
• Blue is less expensive, so the 20% off is fantastic. It has these differences 
  • 8'6" cord instead of 12'
  • Stainless Steal soleplate instead of Chomium soleplate
  • 8 min auto shut off instead of 30 min with the pink & yellow

• They are SIMPLE and FUN
• I weave memories in my Wednesday blocks. I have a title for the block and talk about that memory. The block does not LOOK like what I'm talking about. (ok.. sometimes it does, wink, but not usually).

My friend Joanna of Fig Tree designed this yummy quilt, put it in a book and gave us bonus companion projects. The photography is incredible and I LOVE the blocks!  It will be a sew along with the Fat Quarter shop. 

Once a month we'll sew blocks that are assigned. Not sure when the start date is as Joanna's fabric is not in yet. But you can see what it looks like and there are Jolly bars!
