Chasing Dreams Jacqueline de Jonge

[Music] welcome back to college treasures quilting my name is Olay Delilah is behind the camera today we've chosen a beautiful quilt by Jacqueline de Jonge and she is one of our Dutch quilters that gave us such a beautiful quilt to work with a couple steps in this quote we're going to go through which is intersecting circles in case you've never done that before as well as the paper piecing points and how to make them perfect as well as a double seam allowance on this quilt for the circles so it allows you to once you've gone and sewn your whole circle together it allows for some play and getting rid of the seams so that when you intersect the circles it's basically a perfect fit this is an anthology collection we're going to go into some free motion quilting around the end this is a difficulty three inner quilt six as the hardest three is near the easiest so this one is called chasing dreams and later on another video will be half come you know is going to be enchanting start which is a six difficulty that will be our next one and it's made with the same fabric collection that be colorful by Anthology fabrics and I can't wait to get started okay so one of the first things you're gonna do before you cut any fabric if they're not already numbered you're gonna number your sixteen colorful fabrics there's only 16 colors and most of them they do start and shade away but you are gonna want to number them depending on whether yours came with a number of what the fabric number is when you're ordering the fabric is you're gonna want to have the fabric number as per the kit so all of the 16 colors go in order from 1 all the way to 16 so we made sure to and there circled on the foundation paper so I kind of wrote a 1 and then circled it so I know when I'm doing a foundation that the circled numbers are the color the other numbers are just that the number of that which fabric goes first like one two three four five six when you're doing all six stitches so number your fabric first in the long run it's it helps a lot and then you don't get lost later because some of the fabrics blend a little bit and if you're trying to compare them to the chart you probably might pick the wrong color which I already have so numbering them saves a lot of time [Music] [Music] so after you've cut of all your foundation paper then we're going to get into cutting some fabric now I've done a lot of foundation paper piecing before where you kind of look at the foundation paper and kind of a piece that looks like it's going to be the right size with this one and the instructions of chasing dreams Jacqueline actually gives you the measurements so right off the bat from the fabric you're given she'll ask you to cut two and a quarter let's say strip by the forty four inches long and then she'll get you to lob off perfect pieces of two and a quarter by six inches and these pieces will be the exact perfect size with a little bit of extra to do a star point as well as the white fabric there's there's sixteen star points so what she has is she has you kind of a piece of fabric so long and then she has you measure up one side six inches and measure up another side two and a quarter and then cut on the line and then as you can see I'll have enough to do my foundation paper piecing every time and there'll be minimum waste so this is a nice way to pre-cut all your fabric and not be searching for pieces of fabric later and you can stack them in your colors too if you have color one two three four coming up you can stack your colors that way so when you're at the sewing table it'll work a lot better okay so we're gonna go ahead and so the first piece on camera I've already done two but that's just me getting back into paper piecing again so one thing to remember is when your paper piecing your good side of the fabric are always going to face each other and then the wrong pieces of fabric will be facing away from each other just to make sure that when you do a seam and then you open it because I don't be the other side of the foundation paper the good sides will be exposed so we've pre-cut these pieces and we already know that this white piece is more than big enough to fit this spot and the squares are pre-cut per Jacqueline's instructions will fit the other spot perfectly so the circled numbers are the colors and 17 is white and 5 I just go through my brother chart here and I know that my fabric line is this or any one here so I'm going to lay the white one on top of the red one good sides facing each other's fabric and I'm gonna need my seam allowance I'll make sure my seam allowance is still there and I also want to make sure I can kind of see five through the foundation paper piecing and I want to make sure that those lines are gonna fall in when I have for the square and they will start with a back stitch always and then a forward stitch and I'm just going to sew on the line and then do a back stitch and this is just as secure the fabrics together and you can finger press it you can iron it whichever one you prefer and you can see that my red fabric falls perfectly within the five and with the quarter inch seam allowance you want off the lines now the lines all have arrows on them to tell you which direction to go to and wherever your line goes you're gonna want to start with a back stitch and then go through and then get to the end and start with a back stitch you can see this next one I'm gonna be doing actually is going to start all the way down here so I'm gonna start a little bit away from the end back stitch come up stop at number fours piece and back stitch a little bit more so business card works really well I find for folding this piece over and continue now we're going to cut our seam allowance for our next piece so since I folded the paper and I'm ready to go I know that that's where my seams gonna be my next stitch I'm gonna go ahead and cut and leave 1/4 inch of fabric so number 6 on my color chart I can see that that's number 6 so number 5 back stitch and then forward stitch and back stitch to complete it the fabrics now move on to number 4 place my business card on there fold that piece back and then that I'm going to need to cut that quarter-inch number for saying that it's fabric number 18 and number 18 is this little star so this one this one's pretty easy just because you can see how small the star is you're just going to lay it stars facing up because when it folds open you want to make sure all your good sides of fabric are showing because this would not look very good so I'll lay this under a good side up it wants me to come this way so so on to number five piece number five again business card works really well postcard credit cards are a little bit too thick if your stitch one a little past your line don't worry just tear the paper a little bit it's not gonna hurt anything so now I need to cut my seam allowance again this is why I like paper piecing because you get a nice rhythm going so a piece number five is number 19 now number 19 is very important because it's the stripes if you're if you're using the stripes for fabric 19 in this so the way that that works is that you need to have your stars come out assert the stripes come out a certain way to follow with the pattern the whole quilt the stripes are all going the same way on this quilt and this is Jaclyn this is the front cover of the kit so I want to try and do it the exact same way she did it so in the instructions it gives you a nice tip on how to do that she says to take your stripe piece this is for parties will get to Part B later part Part B does a little thing different with the stripes the white black stripes part a is different so Part A you're going to want to have the good side for your fabric facing up and you want to have this black strip that goes in the quarter inch seam allowance yeah and forward stub on that little star back stitch so the majority of the ones I've done so far quite consistent it's got some of the white showing and then the stripes are shown up the Box stripes showing next so I'm just trying to keep that going that way so at the end they're all consistent so now we're moving on to the last piece all right so next first is number six is color eleven so I have put mine in order earlier so I'm going to go ahead and cut the seam allowance already so now I'm going to go ahead and lay this down now I am going to put it closer to the edge of the fabric that way because when I cut this to match the foundation paper this can leave a nice piece for another spot on the quilt leader so and backstitch [Music] so that's the whole star point done so now we go ahead and trim the edges here you can go ahead and iron this first just to make sure your fabric has been stretched out I think my finger press will work just fine so I'll go ahead and flip it over and I'm gonna cut my extras here all right so these last spots are curved so you're really just gonna have to follow the line and if you leave a little bit extra that's fun we're going to trim that later when we get to the second seam allowance and we find out what the second seam allowance is for all right and there's another one of our eight points a couple things when you're starting out is we're using white thread we're using whatever we found we found we have collide I think it's 40 weight and white thread for the whole foundation favorite piece of this quilt that way later when you're finished the cult and some of those threads might come through you'll be able to use some colorful markers and color them in closest color to the piece of fabric next to that white fat white thread you used our machine is set to a basic stitch and our stitch length is 21.5 or 1 is going to be really hard if you make a mistake which we all do is to try and seam rip that you can damage the fabric and then you're you know if you're running on with fabric it could be who sew so we're moving on to Part B Part B and Part B is exactly the same as Part A with the way you stitch it in the way you lay out there paper piecing so I have my pieces in order [Music] so this is an important step with the B we talked about the the way you wanted the black and white stripes to match up with that a part part A Part B is different so when this is folded over you can see the line here this line right here is now going that way so that's our grain we want our grain pattern to match that so you're gonna have a little extra we'll cut it off later but you do not want to line it up like this because your grain will be going opposite we want the grain to go like this so we're just gonna go ahead and find a spot and you can see this grain line if you lay your business card down you can see the grain line is matching with the pattern line that's very important with with part number B so and there's a lot there's enough fabric here I might move it up actually one more again business card on there on that line to see that the grain is still matching back stitch forward I had a back stitch lock it in now what I usually do is I fold this back over and I just recut that seen there now we open it give it a finger press now we're ready to lay this down and cut the borders now when we cut these patterns originally we left a little bit of extra off of the seam allowance we can go ahead and cut get rid of that now and there we are and you'll see that the stripes the way that we had applied them run with this peak which is exactly what we want for all of the B pieces so we've got our A's and B's all done after this and I'm going to show you what we do with the seam allowance the second seam allowance now we're gonna talk about the secondary seam allowance so zoom in here and we're going to cut the paper only on the secondary seam allowance line not the fabric just the paper so right off the bat fold your fabric away from the paper lay it down and using scissors or rotary blade cut that secondary seam allowance off on the paper only and then fold the fabric over you can see I still have it on the fabric so we're gonna go ahead tear that a little bit and do that on all the seam allowances all the secondary seam allowances no fabric underneath go ahead and cut this one Part A has two seam allowances and Part B has one so again move the fabric out of the way we're just cutting the paper and there we are now whether it's white or dark you're going to need a water-soluble pen that shows up on lighter fabrics and one that shows up on darker fabrics and you're going to add a little dotted line here just to remember where that seam allowance is [Music] okay now now you can remove the paper [Music] there you have it there's an A and a B now we're going to join a 1 and B 2 together and we're going to explain the importance of making sure that certain points show up because you're going to want them the points to be flawless when you're doing the whole start so this is a 1 and this is B 2 and the mode the important part of this one is that once they're sewn together this line is running perfectly parallel with this one so we look at it and the way I gauged it was kind of lining up my secondary seam allowances you can see them through the fabric and I put the good sides facing each other and then you can see right here my lines are meeting up with each other so I'm gonna try that so we're just gonna do we're still set to two two number two stitch length but we're gonna do kind of a basting stitch just to make sure we don't stitch the whole thing if it's not working we just do do five straight stitches I'm gonna check that cuz that's the most important spot right here so that's pretty that's looking pretty good actually very good so now I'm going to run it the rest of the way somewhere edges stitched that's looking really nice that line right there so now we're gonna do the same thing a little basting stitch up top because we want to make sure that our points are quite even when they're meeting each other or not not like that we want it to be pointed right out perfect so again line up your edges here to do a little basting spray get a little basting stitch again and I just do this so that if it doesn't line up I don't have a whole stitch to tear out so what's that sewn looking pretty good I'm gonna die fighting the rest of that believe but that point right there I'm I'm happy with that point and you can see this line nice and close to each other and this point fairly nice so you're gonna put a 1 and B 2 together a 3 B 4 together a 5 B 6 together and so on till you have all groups of 2 so so we've done our pairs a 2 B 1 2 2 a 2 B 3 2 4 and so on you can see the numbers I still have my second seam allowance here so I have numbered 1 2 3 4 all the way in sequence and use the drawing on the kit just as a reference if you don't think your colors are good and you sew two together and then once you're done all your sets of 2 then you still then you sew 2 and 2 together again and then you have 4 left you've so the 4 coordinate quadrants together and then you're left with the last seam so I'm going to show you the last seam I'll do it with you and so the important part about this is every time we've sewn so far our lines are lines this one's a little off but not too bad but our lines are pretty close to intersecting parallel perfectly so we're gonna go ahead turn it inside out just do about four five five six stitches here just to see how my line up is open it up again I like that I can live with that and as well as when you get that line when you sew down here it will as well make sure that these lines are meeting up so now that I have that in a good position I'm going to make sure that my raw edges are even and I'm going to continue where I stopped my loss did open up just to see so there we have this lines matching up to here and this lines matching up to here as well so we'll leave that now and we'll work on the point at the top so again match your raw edges up and you should have a quarter inch foot on if you don't you might have to adjust your point of where your needle is that's what I have to do with mine so piece of paper and I'm gonna tuck it under here and I'm going to start at the top raw edges are flush with this side of my foot a back stitch and then forward stitch raw edges are still flush with each other I'm gonna go ahead and finish this stitch now you can do a little basting stitch again just that where the points are but after I did all of my other points the basing I didn't really have do they matched up the points pretty well every time so I'm just gonna go ahead and finish the stitch paper off open it up pretty happy with that point as well so I bring it over to the ironing table and iron this seam open like I've done with the rest of them and there you are now we're going to have to deal with the secondary seam allowance that's on the inside and the outside and these are going to be cut out and I'll show you how you do this part to make sure that you leave a little bit of extra fabric here and there wherever them wherever it permits so moving on to Part C which is the smallest star in the middle of the quilt I've already done pieces 1 through 4 so I'm going to show you 5 through 8 and these are very easy just like Part A and B that we've done of the large star it's only one stitch to join them all together so right off the bat I just use my business card to get that perfect line and then you put your color piece down and your white fabric good side facing the fabric or wrong side facing you and I'll line it up on this side lay your piece down the white you can see the white is all covered and the little point here will be covered as well and a backstitch to lock it finger press or finger press it or iron it so now you can go ahead and cut the excess off and now like we did with Part A and B we're going to cut just the paper part and then on to the next one so I've gone ahead and I've sewn the two pieces of fabric for these four pieces of Part C so now you're gonna join them together and I had already joined earlier together 1 2 to 3 to 4 now I'm going to join five to six together seven to eight together and then I'm gonna join the two sets together so we'll start with five and six so if imagine you're looking at a wheel and I've already - I did one and two together I did three and four together down to five and six so I'm just gonna grab them like that and pull them over good sides facing each other [Music] and I'm going to grab a little piece of paper and this is going to help so your feed dogs don't pull your piece of fabric down into the machine so gonna get in there start a little ahead because we're gonna start with our back stitch drop the needle drop the foot and go back stitch and then forward and that'll lock it in and just follow your seam on here put your quarter inch all the way to the end back stitch then just go ahead and rip that paper off open it up [Music] now we're not going to worry about ironing the seams open yet once we join our two pieces together then we're gonna worry about the seams just the quadrants so that was done now we'll be 5 & 7 & 8 together so good sides facing each other [Music] now I've got our five and six and seven and eight so now I'm going to take the good sides together and we're sewing six to seven try the paper off there you go now bring it over to the iron board [Music] here we have one quadrant of our circle [Music] and the other one here and we're going to end up sewing these two together so now we're going to talk about the flying geese I've done the first three sections of it to teach myself so I can also do a little tutorial on it so when you start off you're gonna start off on d1 there's d1 through d4 and you're going to do it the same way we've done part a B and C it's very easy the flying geese is probably the easiest part of the quilt I will sew some of the part d together just to show you the process but I want to talk about joining the pieces together when you've finished a whole part you're going to tape and I have an example here where the paper was cut out you're gonna tape it to the spot where it says tape line [Music] so now when you do your fold with your business card you'll still have that fabric on the back side with your quarter inch seam allowance allowing you to continue on so the machine [Music] so just like all the other parts we've done there'll be a chart that Jacqueline made for you to stack all your fabrics cut on the perfect size and snack on your fabric so once you start the flying geese you're gonna have a stack of powders like that and it's all in order so we'll go ahead and start the next pick [Music] so we're going to continue this process until we make it to the end of the flying geese now we're finished the flying geese all the way around and now we just have to join the two parts together so I fold it inside out so now we're going to sew on this line to join these last two together and since I've already trimmed both sides I just want to make sure that they're going to line up so I grab a pin and I'm going to poke a hole through the center of that star [Music] with the other end and poke it through till I get that other star it's pretty good right there [Music] so you'd take it over to the ironing board you can rip this paper off in between these two Silla lines here and you're going to iron this seam open this should be the only iron seam on all of the flying geese okay so we're gonna cut the secondary seam allowance out so hopefully we can get this looking pretty good on the camera so you're gonna follow your dotted line let's start on the seam right here and you're gonna cut away your secondary seam allowance now you can see as I get to the next seam they're not quite lined up and instead of trying to jump over to that line I'm going to ease I'm going to ease into that line so now I'm back onto that line and I haven't cut any weird jagged lines out this is what the secondary seam allowances is it's it's basically your forgiveness device so now I'll continue these lines match up really nice so I'm just gonna follow the dotted line [Music] keep following the dotted line there matching up again so that's nice so as you can see here this dotted line dropped just a little bit so I eased into it continue cutting this one again - I'll ease into it this one lined up keep going [Music] all right so our secondary seam allowance is gone now you can see that circle looks really good it doesn't have any jagged bumps in it or nothing so this should be really good now keep in mind the quarter-inch seam is still incorporated in this for the sewing the circles intersecting the circles so we'll move on to cutting the secondary seam allowance on the big star on the inside and outside and then we'll be ready to put the small one into the big one so now we got to cut this secondary seam allowance on our large star so on the outside it's the same as I did with the small star I'm just gonna go ahead and time-lapse this but Delilah all zoom in and show you what I'm doing [Music] so right here see this is quite a big jump this one probably a little over an eighth of an inch so this one I'm gonna span it quite a bit of ways before I get those lines to meet up again so you can see quite a bit left over but that's what the secondary seam allowance is for there we are I'll flip it over that's circle very nice so now we'll move on to the middle seam allowance the inner so this one is the same as the outside you're gonna follow the lines and same thing if one's a little out from the other one you kind of ease your way into it so our secondary see my Assessors are taken care of now we should be able to sew our star inside of this one and it looks like we have more than enough extra so quickly we've got our big star done and we're ready to intersect the circle into the flying geese so what you're gonna want to do before you take the paper off is every spot that there's a star and it's on the inside and the outside you're gonna want to lift the paper up and with a fabric marking pen you're gonna want to make a line now there's sixteen sixteen of these on the outside and sixteen of them on the inside so before we go and try to sew our big star into the flying geese go ahead lift the paper and mark each star with fabric marking pen all right so we're ready to intersect the large star into the flying geese so now as for color scheme you can go off of the cover of the kit but I'm not to I don't I'm not particularly concerned of having the color red at the top peak meet an orange flying goose that doesn't really matter to me so I'm just gonna go ahead and just go off of the points that I had marked of the sixteen flying geese and whichever color ends up on top is a color that ends up on top so some pins we're gonna start so we know where our corner is our our peak and it's up here so you can either go ahead and put a pin in here just to just let you know that that is the that is where the peak goes up I'm going to lay my lying down just gonna look at it down there and then kind of slide it up and then as long as I fold it over and see my line going in with the line of the peak should be fine so flushing flushing the two fabrics up to each other I'll poke it through bring it back back through again open it up those lines are pretty close together and then I'm going to do the other side we've done this way now we'll do this side flip it all the way around and do the last side so a quick note you should have good side facing good side okay so you've got four points there's sixteen to do so now since we've done this one and this one we'll go ahead and do in between those two this is the same process I used to do the center we didn't record the center just because it was my first time intersecting that circle so I had to learn it and there's still two more circles to do which are the flying geese to the large start and then we also have the white border that goes around the whole circle center that will do as well [Music] and again and then once we're done this one you still have the small points so there will be 16 pins in total inside of this so that once we're ready to sew we'll have all 16 points lined up and then we'll come back and videotape once I've got them all pinned all right so I've pinned on all the points of the stars meeting the flying geese and then as well just to make it less kinky and the fabric to shift around I then through a pin in between every other pin so there are sixteen points so I have double that I have 32 pins in my project right now and you can see it gives me quite quite the nice flat edge to work with so it'll be less bunching up while I'm sewing so make sure your machine is set to quarter inch seam if you don't have a quarter inch seam foot and we'll start sewing he can really pick any spot I'm just gonna start somewhere after one of the pins [Music] so now we're going to cut out our part II there are four these and it only comes with one piece of paper so what you're gonna want to do is you can cut them all in one ship so well you can't cut them all in one shot you can cut two at a time so right now our white fabric is folded in half so when I cut my first one out I'm going to have enough to be able to just move this paper piece over here and cut it again then I'll have four in total and you do want to leave a pretty good chunk on the end because that's going to be used in the border later so what I've done is I've used scotch tape and I have taped my foundation paper to my cutting board as well as to the fabric and this is just try and keep it from moving around while I'm cutting this is my folded edge so after I'm done cutting this I'm just going to open it up and cut it straight down the middle [Music] so now I'm going to retake the foundation paper down to the other side and do the exact same process again until I have four of these so we're gonna join all our four eight pieces together I've already done three of the joints I'll show you one here it's probably the easiest part of the quilt and you're just gonna butt up your two ends keeping this and flush if this sides out a little bit that's fine we can trim that up later I do like to use a little piece of paper here so that the machine doesn't try to steal my fabric so we start with a back stitch right to the end and therefore and just keep that quarter inch seam allowance on the other side of your foot and then when I get close to the end I just steal my paper lift my foot paper in there continue on and finish it with a backstitch so all of these you're gonna iron all your seams open and then we'll be ready to for our final circle inside of this border okay so we've ironed our open our scenes on our border and now we're going to determine where we want to line it up for our quilt now you do want to keep in mind that where these four seams are you are going to want them to run on the line which will be the main main part now an easy way is to fold this in in half as well this whole border and find where the seams are and line them up on top of each other and press this with your finger [Music] now we open this up leah back down on top you'll see that we have not just the four quadrants now they'll have eight in total so if we had this lined up and this is where ever going to want it so it you can see that we have a little seam here that will line up with another line and that should happen in the force thoughts making it easier then once we've pinned all these spots we can go to the in-between pin there and then in between it between if you want to do that much this is going to be a lot easier than the smaller so the smaller the circle the harder it is to intersect into another one because the more fabric you have trying to get in your way the larger the circle it's a lot easier so we'll start at the top here the same way we did the big one we're going to fold it in half and we're gonna line up these two lines it's a little easier now because you have seen one seem to line up [Music] all right so I've pinned all the quadrants there's 32 pins in this bad boy so now we're going to go ahead and sew our circles together [Music] so we are now on to the first sashing well it's a kind of a dual session outside of our corner II so walking foot is probably pretty imperative with this section because the fact that you can really try to get away on you and you're working with such such thin because we got assassin of an inch and a sashing of an inch and a quarter so it's not much room for your sewing machine to behave so I've put my walking foot on another thing depending on the kind of machine you have is if you drop your needle down close to your foot you want to see that you have a quarter-inch so you still have a guide to follow so mine was way in the middle so I had to adjust my machine just the positioning of the needle so I got my quarter-inch so I can follow this side of my walking foot and I know where my needles going down is going to give me a core inch [Music] I'm getting ready to sew my 1st sashing onto the quilt so I'm not going to record sewing the sashing because I'm just going to do the same process I did to sew these two pieces together which is used my walking foot with a quarter inch seam but as you can see I did pin the whole quilt for my raw edges to match up and that's just for peace of mind for doing such a small sashing I mean it's cut to an inch so by the time your quarter inch seam allowances are gone it's only a half inch sashing so to keep it nice and straight and this quilt for the most part square I did quite a few pins here so I'm gonna go ahead and pin and do the sashing at the bottom and the sashing at the top so now we're gonna work on the spike border this one's really time-consuming because there's 71 stitches to make one of the four borders the nice thing about Jaclyn's instructions is she gets you to cut out all the pieces and put them in order so all of the pieces are cut to the same size and then you stack them in order she's got a nice way and I'll show a picture that I took of laying out all the fabrics that have been cut in there sinker colors and then putting the sticky note down one through 16 and then you just grab your colors and stack them stack them on top of each other and then when you flip the pile over you're now ready to start from number one and go all the way to the 71st stitch and they're all in order every four or five stitches I do check my color to the chart just to make sure I didn't make a mistake because mistakes happen so and these are all petits for the border so you'll have to worry about good side facing up or down when you're doing this part [Music] and now we're going to start all over again with another full stack do one border and then with all the extra pieces from it we'll do the fourth quarter and then we're done with a spike board so we're ready to add the spike order now that we finished the sashing all the way around and it's exactly the same process as we did with the sashing I'm gonna use pins to line up the ride just looks a lot easier I'm still using my walking foot one thing to note is that you want to match the color as the pattern shows on the front cover which is you're gonna start with the yellow and work your way down to the green you'll kind of know if you picked it right or not because as you can see my walking foot is just gonna jump over all the seams if you had done it the other way your walking foot it's gonna hit every seam and that's not gonna work out so that's the one thing to note when you're doing the spike border the spike border does I did it a little bit overhanging over here and on the end just a tiny bit I'll just trim those up after but yeah the same process as the sashing pin it down good sides facing each other ROG is perfectly flush with each other and go ahead and sew it if you come over here you can see the one that's already done [Music] as well once you're done push the seams towards the spiked border this way there's quite a few scenes already in this spot we don't need to add anymore [Music] so now that the spiked borders have been completed we now move on to the white and black striped sashing again so if you follow the instructions you're gonna cut the pieces all four of them the same size and you're gonna put two on that have no cube in the corner just the two and then you're going to apply though the two piece of the fabric to the white and black stripe to finish off each side [Music] we finished our top of our quilt now we're going to base it together and get ready to start free motion quilting so the way we do ours is we baste it and then put a couple pins in it opposed to hitting the whole thing so we just line up your three layers [Music] all right so that's basted and we use some Elmer's craft blonde from we get it at Walmart it's a lot cheaper than the flat will fly but I find it works the exact same we open our windows and turn the fans on and then we're going to leave the room for about 10 minutes and let it air out and then we're going to pin it down and just make sure you baste between the top of the cool and the batting and the vacuum in the batting so you're going to do that twice and put a couple pins in it and then you're ready to pretty much cook just like most of our videos we're going to give you a brief description of the free motion quilting so we always use our slider plate it's just a sticks to your machine and allows the fabric to glide on it I'm wearing the gloves with the grippy fingertips we put on our ruler foot for free motion quilting and we've dropped our feet dogs because one if your motion quilting the feed dogs need to be down so you can readily move your quilt around [Music] so if this is your first time watching our videos and you're just getting into promotional team or are trying to add some new designs to your repertoire you should come to our channel and check out our library and our dream big opal video which is a little more in-depth on learning some free motion quilting patterns like the feather Paisley's and the andreen and such like that just come to cottage treasures building on YouTube and you can see some of our other videos that are more elaborate into the facial okay I've done the first layout of what I'm going to do for this white border and you can see I've done similar feathers to what I did on the flying geese except I'm doing a little swoop inside of each feather just to accent them and then I did an echo around them so I'm gonna do that identical on this side and I'm gonna draw out just the stem and where it curls with erasable pen that way I have just a guideline and I can put down the stem before I start filling them in so I really just started from the center [Music] so I'm gonna come over and I'm going to sew over just these stem and feathers I've done here and then I continue it down here so I've used the blue mark be on pen to draw out my feathers that are going to go in between the two have already done so I'll show you a little bit of this just gonna follow the line I finished the free motion quilting on the white inside border with all the pebbles filling in the negative space around my feathers and then I moved on to the spiked border and this doesn't really just attack the quilt down so I made a mark with the ruler at about about an inch inch and a quarter and then just use my erasable white pencil to mark a line so I knew to keep my triangles consistent I just went up to the line and then back down and then I moved on to doing a straight line kind of in the ditch between these two borders and the sash in here just to hold the quilt down I'm not too worried about having any special designs open in the border here so now we're getting ready to bind so I'm going to square up the quilt and the finished quilt is 43 by 43 inches ours is a little bit bigger from stretching quilting so I'm just cutting it down this final order and cut it down to two and a quarter inch [Music] chasing dreams complete we learned a lot of skills with this one the intersecting circles I'm very glad to take that and add that to my repertoire because I have not done that before so that was a lot of fun as well as how precise the points need to be on the 16 points star in the middle so again we're cottage treasures quilting we have these kits available on our website at cottage treasures dot
