Just Takes 2â„¢ Quilt – July 1 Quilt Blocks and Section B Assembly

Advertisements:

If you've been keeping up with the Just Takes 2 quilt blocks you'll be ready to put together the second section of the quilt with today's instructions. I don't think this section is quite as complicated as the first one so you shouldn't have any problems setting your blocks together.

Just Takes 2 Section B
Before you start sewing those blocks together there are a few you'll to need make from today's set of patterns. We have 6 blocks this time. Here they are -

Block 47

 

Block 48

 

Block 49

 

Block 50

 

I used the back basting method of applique on this Star and Crescent block. There's a tutorial on back basting HERE

I traced the block onto the wrong side of the pattern and added guide lines 1/2" from the outside edge of the block to position my 7" background square for marking.

Trace the design on the wrong side of your background fabric.

Baste and applique the red crescent.

Back baste the star background right on top of the red crescent.

The appliqued star background.

Finish the block by appliqueing the star on top.

Block 51

 

Block 52

 

I can't think of anything else I need to tell you so click on the link below to get your blocks.

Shipshewana Quilt Festival Quilt Show

Advertisements:

It's been a crazy busy few days for Clutch and I. We'll start the last leg of our trip back to the cottage in a few hours but I've heard how anxious you are to see the quilts at the Shipshewana Quilt Festival so I wanted to get the video up as soon as I could. I haven't even watched it yet! I wasn't able to capture each and every one of the quilts but I think you'll see what a wonderful event this is. It's growing bigger and better every year.
I can now say without hesitation that one day in Shipshewana is not enough for me! Too much I want to do and not enough time. People probably through I was crazy peeking in the windows of Rebecca Haarer Arts and Antiques taking pictures but I didn't make it there to see Rebecca before closing time. I managed to eat my Rise 'n Roll donut and JoJo's Pretzel but had to get my Blue Gate Restaurant liver and onions dinner to go. Clutch and I will enjoy that tonight.

Sorry there's no music with the video yet. If I have time I'll try to add some later but for now enjoy the quilts and a few of the sights.
