The beauty of these is that you can create them any size you wish from any fabric you wish and add your choice of embellishments. Each strawberry is a half circle folded in half and sewn down the straight edge. Fill with fibre fill and secure by sewing a running thread around the top, pull tight and secure off. Add embellishments of your choice.<br />

I have often wondered what does one do with all those beautifully hand embroidered doilies. Some people make quilts out of them but l am a bit lost as to where to begin, any suggestions would be appreciated. Its a pity to see these doilies just sit in a drawer and not being appreciated.Koala Quilt N Sewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16420702480375640170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113386467583812564.post-39074876963112120622018-08-16T03:24:00.001-07:002018-09-02T03:29:47.071-07:00Sampler Quilt; Block 3 Log Cabin<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">“What Does One Do With All Those Tiny Misfit Scraps Of Fabric?”</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">The fabric for this quilt was gathered in charm packs from members of a quilt group l attend. This particular year as our birthdays came around we would receive, from other members of the group, 10 squares 5” x 5” of the worst fabric they had in their stash.</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">Combined with a variety of off cuts of plain blue fabric and tiny scraps l constructed a pile of snowball squares and a pile of nine patch squares.</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">The next step involved making up rows of alternating nine patch and snowball blocks.</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">As the rows were sewn together there was always a nine patch block above and below the snowball block.</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">Thus the number of scrap squares you construct will determine the finished size of this quilt.</span><br />
<br />
<span mce_style="font-size: 16pt;" style="font-size: 16pt;">A true scrap quilt.</span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 30.6667px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Hint: When sewing the seams together always have the seams in the first row going 1 way as in the first photo the seams are going to the right. Then in the next row the seams are going in the opposite direction,to the left. This helps ensure the seams met neatly on the front of your quilt. Also ensures there are no lumpy intersections on the front of your quilt which can distort the final quilting process and you will not have a flat laying quilt.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b><br />

This is a great block to start the sampler with and your patchwork journey if you are a beginner. The skills you will learn thru this block are the cutting of fabric with a rotary cutter and ruler, sewing ¼ inch seams, matching up a seam and sewing 3 rows of fabric together.</div>
<br />
To support the instructions l have included photos. But do remember any question you may want to ask please go to the Koala Quilt N Sew yahoo group. There you will meet other Block Of The Month participants and l will be visiting regularly http://groups.yahoo.com/group/koalaquiltnsew/<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1. By now many of you will have gathered your fabric, here are photos of my fabric choices. The floral fabric in the first photo is my main fabric with the next photo showing the support fabrics and the final photo is of my plain background fabric.<br />

Step 2. This involves cutting your fabric so the equipment needed is the cutting board, rotary cutter and Perspex ruler. Choose the 3 fabrics you wish to work with for this block, iron and fold into 4 lengthwise. Place the fabric onto the cutting board, lining up the fold of the fabric with one of the horizontal gridlines on the cutting board. Place the perspex ruler towards the edge of the fabric, again lining one of the horizontal lines on the ruler with the fold of the fabric. At this point using the rotary cutter and cutting away from you trim off the uneven fabric edge (photo 3 and photo 4)<br />

<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
Now to cut your strip of fabric turn the cutting board around, so that the trimmed edge is facing your left side. Refer to the following photo. Now place your ruler 2 1/2 inches in from the edge of the fabric. With the fingers of your left hand hold the ruler in place (ENSURE YOUR FINGERS ARE WELL AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE RULER) and holding the rotary cutter in your right hand and at a 45 degree angle run the flatter side of the cutting blade along the side of the ruler travelling away from you. This results in the fabric being cut. Always close your blade once finished cutting due to the sharpness of the blade.<br />
<br />
Cut another two strips of the same measurement, one each from the other two fabrics.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdznRpL8coKo98drkzbRv4WZKOYORk7Rph2wybIhoU_gqhqFIL_GtjQ0y66XNmfO5RIzx0sZL9tWZrTEyBwOItY9-BBxtLIluLj_LcaXn-akSF3YKqCRqC7XvebRxGs28zl69VuCuxxJA/s1600/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdznRpL8coKo98drkzbRv4WZKOYORk7Rph2wybIhoU_gqhqFIL_GtjQ0y66XNmfO5RIzx0sZL9tWZrTEyBwOItY9-BBxtLIluLj_LcaXn-akSF3YKqCRqC7XvebRxGs28zl69VuCuxxJA/s200/019.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are left handed cut the opposite way around.<br />
<br />
Step 3. This step involves sewing the 3 strips of fabric together. As in many patchwork designs the seams for this block are ¼ inch, straight stitch and with cotton thread. When sewing strips together sew down one way and then back up the other way. If all strips are sewn together in the same direction an arch will form thus creating an impossible piece to use. The piece needs to be ironed at this stage, as in many patchwork pieces iron the seams together and in one direction. If you have a strip of light coloured fabric always iron the seams towards the darker coloured fabric.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Step 4. Place the ironed strip on your cutting board and with your ruler trim off one end. Then measure in 6 1/2 inches with your Perspex ruler and cut with the rotary cutter. We need 4 of these blocks.</div>
<br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Step 5. Sew the two sets of the blocks together, as per photo, using a ¼ inch seam.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Step 6. Sew the two sets of blocks together. In this step the centre seams need to be matched with seams on top blocks going in one direction and the centre seam on the bottom blocks going in the other direction. Thus avoiding bulk forming and being noticeable in the finished project.</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>

It introduces one to a variety of basic quilting techniques while at the same time producing an array of different blocks which can be sewn into a quilt, cushions or a table runner.<br />
<br />
Here we will look at some of the equipment you may need to commence your patchwork journey. There are some basic equipment needs that are musts while others you can add to as you progress.<br />
<br />
1/ Sewing Machine: A basic sewing machine is all on needs if you decide to machine sew your quilts. The major requirement of your machine is that it does straight stitch. It would also be helpful when you come to quilt your quilt that the machine can accommodate a walking foot or alternatively can drop the feed dogs and utilize a darning foot. Staring off a universal medium range needle is utilized in the sewing machine.<br />
<br />
2/ Thread: Many quilters prefer to use a good quality cotton thread in the sewing machine and for the hand quilting process. Thou a good quality polyester-cotton thread can also be utilized. The colour of the thread used is important, try to match the thread color to the fabric color. If using a variety of colored fabrics match the darkest color fabric with your thread.<br />
<br />
3/Pins: These will assist in holding the various pieces of fabric together until machine sewn. It is fine to use smaller, fine pins for this process and the longer Quilting pins when pinning the 3 layers, quilt top & wadding & backing, together.<br />
<br />
4/Rotary Cutters: Rotary Cutters make cutting your fabric, especially when cutting multiple layers, a lot easier and very accurate. There are a variety of cutters on the market and it really is a case of trying the different ones available i.e if possible try out your fellow patch workers, cutters before buying a expensive one. Besides a wide range of styles there is also a variety of sizes, 45mm is the most utilized size. When using a rotary cutter a Quilters Ruler should always be utilized as well. The depth of the quilters ruler ensures the rotary cutter is less likely to stray and cut fingers.<br />
<br />
5/ Cutting Mats: These mats are specially designed to be used with the rotary cutter. They are often referred to as self healing in that if marked by the rotary cutter the mark will disappear. Don’t use other types of cutting tools on this mat as they will permanently mark these mats. Also never leave your mat in a hot car as once these mats buckle it can never be reversed thus rendering the mat useless. A good sized cutting mat to start off with is 23in x 17in.<br />
<br />
6/Quilters Rulers: A quilters ruler is made of, usually, clear acrylic. This allows the user to see the fabric to be cut clearly and thus cut straight lines every time. As there are many diff sized rulers available a good size to start with is 14in x 4 1/2in. The markings on the ruler should include 1/4in markings and 45 and 60 degree angle markings.<br />
<br />
6/ Scissors: A good pair of fabric cutting with sharp points and another pair for cutting paper.<br />
<br />
7/Fabric: Many quilters utilize 100% cotton for their projects due to its softness, tightness of weave thus not a fabric that distorts its shape easily and the straightness of the grain due to its tighter weave.<br />
<br />
Preparation Of Fabric: Many quilters prefer to pre wash their fabric prior to use as this pre shrinks the fabric and rids the fabric of any loose dye.<br />
<br />
Selecting Fabric: When choosing fabric for a sampler quilt l tend to choose my main fabric first. The main fabric is usually a busy print. From this fabric l will identify approx 3 colors within the design and choose fabrics of a less busy nature of those 3 colors. These three colors/fabrics become your support colours. The final fabric to choose is your background color, this color is pale, of one tone or a tone on tone. This fabric recedes into the background when viewing the completed quilt.<br />
<br />
Fabric Amounts: This is a rough estimate only for a lap quilt i.e. 12 blocks, 12inchs x 12 inches. Main Fabric and Background Fabric each 1 1/2 yards or 140cms, Support Fabrics x 4, 4 fat quarters.<br />
<br />
In the next couple posts we will look at the construction of some blocks that make up a Quilt Sampler.<br />
