You guys! All our blocks are done and it’s time to assemble our Quilt Tops! Yay! Cloud is even excited about it!! (See above, he loves to help!) If you are just finding this quilt along now, you can get the free pattern here!
If you had consistent seams and you pieces were cut accurately, everything will line up correctly.
Make sure to lay out your blocks in the correct order.
You will then match up (nest) the seams with the block next to each other. This is why we pressed our seams in specific ways. Now they will match up and interlock nicely.
I like to pin a lot! Pin next to each interlocking seam and then in between.
I like to work in rows. Sew the top three blocks together, the middle three blocks together and the bottom three blocks together so they form 3 rows. Then you nest your seams in the three rows, pin in place and sew them together! Wah Lah! I love how fast this quilt goes together.
