I have been trying to organize a little. ( And then I get quilting and the fabric piles up.) But I found some foam core board I had previously cut. I found a video on how to use glue stick and your sewing machine. This is the link I used: it was a very information video I found on Youtube: Project boards: no hot glue
It worked very well: I used flannel on the front, forgetting I had a peel off sticking surface on the back. No matter. Just glad to have them and want to make more. Used up some jelly roll strips, too.
What was nice about this was that you measured the edges on both the front and back so that when it was finally sewn on the machine it came out perfect. And instead of using hot glue, you used glue stick or I actually used Elmer's School Glue.
My finished size was 10 inches. I think I will make more.
And on another front, I did finish my row around the center block for the Stay at Home Round Robin using a LOT of quarter square triangles.
Love your center block and first round QST. I almost did that center as my applique this year.
ReplyDeleteYour round robin blocks is so pretty! Those boards look very nice. I'll have to check out this method of finishing them. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love your SAHRR round :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, your SAHRR border is very pretty! And the little design boards, what a handy idea!
ReplyDeleteThose hourglass blocks are a perfect frame for your lovely appliqué flower. I also like the touch of the four-square blocks in the corners: nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! The hourglass blocks really add to the folk art feel of your center.
ReplyDeleteLove your center block and the hourglass blocks fit perfectly! I've started making a few design boards but never added the sides, lol! I might have to try this method, thanks for sharing! xx
ReplyDeleteYour hourglass blocks look great! Thanks for quilting along with us.
