Oh, I'm so sorry I missed this. I was quilting a lot this weekend. I have almost finished up my wedding gift quilt. I have 3/4 of a side to finish hand sewing the binding to the back and it will be done and ready to take pictures. I'm going to make a 14" pillow cover with some leftover fabric to go with the quilt.

I used the instructions on this video - http://youtu.be/I_qyb7XxY4k. I followed their directions except for not using 1/2 inch seam allowances. I also marked the fold line on the back by marking a line 7/8 inches from my outermost SID, pressing the fabric, then glue basting it. I then SID to seal up that seam. I am having problems with doing this because I have to leave 1 inch on the top and bottom of the block so I can join the rows. I need to figure out how to do this so it looks good and doesn't leave unstitched regions. See this post for pics and more explanation on the problems I'm talking about. I'm almost to decide that hand stitching the blocks together on the back might be the best way to go, and just SID the rows together.

Sorry I did not get back to say how I made out. I made some nice progress on my wall hanging. It was a UFO for some time and I am glad to be getting so close to the end of the project. Ordinarily I would show a picture too, but I want it to be completely done when I let you see it. All the pictures sure are pretty. It gives a lot of inspiration for others.

I was having quilting problems but woke up had a go fine. No problem at all. Must have been tired after 6hours sewing. Almost finished the quilt will post when I have.
When is the next day I love them it makes you focus before the day to get ready and then a whole day sewing.

Thanks, Ranchwife!!! That was most helpful. I couldn't see the stitching at all on the back in the first pictures.

Ranchwife, how beautiful and so perfect. Thanks for the referral on the you tube video. I'm bookmarking it for later reference. I'm just getting started. I watched grandkids till 4:30, Cleaned up, then cooked for hubby. Watered by veg garden, and now reading threads. I don't get to put a lot of effort into quilting during the day. Mostly weekends when I don't have the boys. And also the weather is so beautiful, I love being outside.
