MINUTE MARKS:
- 00:51 - 12 Tips for Long Seams - Blog Post
- 02:20 - Deciding on block layout for the Modern version
- Consider scale of prints, color, value, etc.
- Fons & Porter Design Wall (affiliate link)
- 06:10 - Sewing Blocks together
- I recommend back-stitching this seam, especially if it is going to be around the perimeter of your quilt top
- Use pins!
- Be careful not to flip seams as you are sewing.
- 07:23 - Pressing Row Seams - Alternate the direction that you press the rows seams from row to row. This will create nesting seams.
- 07:56 - Sewing Rows together
- 09:05 - Pressing Row seams - I like to press these seams open but you are welcome to press them to one side if you'd like.
- 09:45 - Optional stay-stitching - This is a seam that is ~1/8" away from the perimeter of your quilt top and it secures the seams around your quilt. It's optional and not required if you back-stitched all of your seams around the perimeter of your blocks/quilt...however, it's nice to have that extra security.
