Alright, so here’s the breakdown for Week Nine:
- In Week Eight, we assembled section 5. Here’s the action list to complete for Week Nine!
- Option A instructions can be found on pages 14-15 and Option B instructions can be found on page 22 in your pattern.
- You caught me again–I cheated on the photos this week and used the mini (Option B). It’s so much easier to photograph the mini/pillow Option B than it is the large quilt option.
- Take a look at your coloring sheet–and lay out your sections prior to pinning and sewing them together.
- The whole quilt is basically a large nine patch block. So you’ll sew three rows of three sections together, then sew those rows together to complete the quilt top.
- Make sure you check that you pin at your seam intersections whenever you have a seam intersection so everything lines up as it should.
- The only really tricky thing to sewing the top together is keeping your sections straight. I like to label my sections with a little post it note pinned to each one and numbered. It just keeps me from pulling my hair out later when I accidentally grab the wrong one.
- Double check your layout prior to sewing each section together, and press when you’re done!
- This week, post a picture of your completed quilt top on Instagram using the #cheekychurndashquiltalong hashtag. Be sure you post your IG picture with the hashtag by midnight on November 16 to qualify for this week’s prize! This is the grand prize for the QAL-free edge to edge longarm quilting, so you’ll really want to make sure you post this week. Refer back to the prize roundup for more details. Even if you missed posting earlier in the quilt along, you can still qualify as long as you post this week with a finished top (must be the 81″ quilt size).
Next week, the grand prize winner will be announced and I’ll share some of the finished quilt tops. Thank you so much for joining me for the quilt along, and a huge thank you to all the prize sponsors:
