- This is what your block should look like if you have followed my Tutorial/QAYG #1/Making the Blocks.
- Place the block right side down.
- Place the backing square right side up on the block.
- Use basting spray (according to directions on the can) to attach the backing.
- As you can see I have spread out a garbage bag to protect my table...that's pretty sticky stuff.
- I find it easiest to spray one half at a time.
- Make sure the backing is smooth.
- Turn the block over and if there are some loose edges, as in photo above, give it a little bit of basting spray.
- You are now ready to quilt the block. I decrease my stitch length near the edges....because I am picky and don't want things falling apart.
- Use a walking foot...I'm sewing on a Pfaff in this picture, which has a built in walking foot.
- You can easily quilt the block any way you like, since you are working with such a small amount of fabric, in comparison to a full sized quilt.
