QUILTsocial | Issue 10

Welcome to a new issue of QUILTsocial! I'm so excited to share with you tips, tutorials and product reviews in this issue and I'm even more excited you'll be able to download it for future reference! Among the several projects 5 of them are created by playing with rulers: a square, a triangle and a circular cutter. My favorite is the triangle ruler, as it simplifies and shortens the time it takes to make half square triangles, substantially. Another must-read feature is about using the lowly placemat as a creative platform and learning tool to discover different quilting techniques and embroidery possibilities. Also you don't want to miss the 9 essential tools for successful quilting on your domestic machine, guidelines that will change your quilting possibilities. Let me highlight one more, you know those quilt panels you love so much and hate to cut up into a quilt? We offer tips about how to cut these so the images are highlighted instead of lost. Enjoy exploring everything else there is in this amazing issue.

As you’re cutting each piece, place them<br />

aside on a flat surface and turn each<br />

piece 45° counter-clockwise.<br />

As the pieces are cut lay them out in<br />

the order the are cut. You should have 4<br />

rows with 4 blocks per row.<br />

When the pieces are cut and laid out sew<br />

the blocks and rows together.<br />

As blocks are cut put them aside and turn each of<br />

them at a 45° counter-clockwise.<br />

The blocks cut using the Sew Easy template are<br />

laid out in the order they were cut.<br />

Sew all blocks and rows together.<br />

As you can see, the SEW EASY Pinwheel<br />

Magic 6½“ template is easy and fun to<br />

use. For any fabric you may have left,<br />

you may want to consider using the<br />

SEW EASY Pinwheel Magic 4½” template.<br />

The completed pinwheel quilt<br />

The only thing<br />

left to do is quilt<br />

the project! I<br />

kept it simple,<br />

and quilted the<br />

pinwheels only,<br />

but you can add<br />

more quilting<br />

to yours. Echo<br />

quilting on the<br />

purple portion<br />

would create<br />

cool triangles.<br />
