How to Choose Fabric from a Picture

How to choose fabric for my B. Ann Quilt, it’s simple.

This may seem a bit strange, but I love the colors in this dress, it’s from a Vogue magazine probably 2-3 years ago, (LOVE IT) and it’s how I picked the colors for my quilt Pattern Book  

B. Annie HERE

 The purples, the pink/red sleeve, the green top
And a White added for the white Chair !

I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the attention this post received and I’m pleased to show you it really works ! 

B Annie Quilt Pattern eBook by the Quilt Ladies
This is one of the quilt rows, 
choosing fabrics this way !
The only color that just didn’t work for me was the black belt and I couldn’t find anything I liked, so I just left it off.
(Note: when piecing the blocks the dark green took the place of the black)
If you’d LIKE the pattern – HERE it is
 
Here’s a look at one of the 16 blocks ! 
It worked !

Self-Binding Quilt Tutorial

Self Binding means: Bring the quilt backing to the front and using it as your binding.

I bring this over from The Quilt Ladies, this post is used and asked for all the time, Thank you for that. Check out my Etsy Shop of all MyQuilt Patterns

Just a few days ago I received this comment on my original post:   from Helen:

After reading the tutorial 3 times I committed to try the technique.

It worked perfectly. I just followed the instructions and it worked

on a table runner. This method stops so much waste of material.

Step by Step How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

 Make your quilt block, add batting heat resistant, and quilt. Trim the batting even with your quilt top

How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

Cut one backing 1″ from the quilt edge

How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

Fold the backing to the edge of the quilt, 1/2″, I like to press it down

How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

Again, fold the backing over onto the quilt top, make sure you are on the quilt top with the edge, this is your sewing edge, pin it down

How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

Fold the corner over as shown

And then do the steps as before, fold over half way and then fold over half way again. Pin well.

Sometimes at the corner, you will have to move it around a bit to make the corner perfect, go slow and pin well. 

When I get it like, I like,  pin and I press a bit, between pins and at the corner it holds it just a bit better. Remember, pressing is up and down with an iron. Doing it up and down your fabric will not stretch or move.

With your machine sew along the backing edge, do a few back stitches to hold ends

I like doing 2 rows of stitching, just my personal like.
