Luminous Quilt Along Project: Quilt Setting  

April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 Post a comment

Hi friends!

Wow! Can you believe it? We are almost done with our Luminous Quilt Along Project!

Luminous Quilt Along Project: Quilt Setting by top US quilting blog, Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs.

Today in the Adventure in Color Quilt Along, Tammy and I are talking about the setting of the quilt. I am going to talk about prepping to sew the setting and Tammy will have tips on sewing it together.

The Quilt Setting

This quilt is not set in rows. All the blocks are on point and the quilt is built in sections.  Then the sections are sewn together.

At the end, you will trim up all four sides and then add a skinny border.

Quilt Cutting

There are a lot of pieces for the setting. As you cut, my BEST TIP is to label each piece with the size and section number.  For most of the pieces, we have listed in what section each piece it goes.

Trust me, there are a lot of pieces, many are close in size but not the same size and it is easy to get them confused!

I will repeat this essential tip: Label EACH piece with size and section number.

Sewing your Quilt

For this step, my best tip is to sew one section at a time. Don’t try to chain piece here, just go step by step. 

And be sure to note, that along the outer edges, there will be places where things don’t match up. That is OK! You will be trimming the quilt top to size at the end and making all those uneven bits go away. Using oversize pieces along the edges allows for some flexibility in case not everything lines up the way it should. Better to trim a little off than not have enough!

This setting can look intimidating. It’s actually pretty straightforward and goes together nicely as long as you get the right size piece in the right place!

Ask me how I know!

Kate
