Como vos mostrei os tecidos aqui ontem foi a vez de começar o meu novo quilt
A very interesting method, and first time for me
As I showed you here, yesterday was the start of my new quilt
Comeca-se por unir uma tira branca com uma de cor
Start by joining one white and one coloured strip
Depois cosemos de ambos os lados duas tiras previamente unidas, lado direito com lado direito
Then we sew two strips previously sewn, right sides together
Depois cortamos em triangulos
Then we cut them in triangles
Muitos triangulos mais tarde…
Lots of triangles later…
E quando abrimos o triangulo, temos o quadrado
And when we open the triangles we have a square
E agora, ou daqui a uns dias vai ser a parte mais interessante, que é distribuir e arranjar os quadrados para o top do nosso quilt
And now, or in a few days we start with the most interesting part, arranging the squares to form the top of the quilt
Stay tuned
Wow! That looks really pretty!
ReplyDeleteLet's see if I got it right, basically you sew 4 strips of fabric, 2 at a time and then cut them in triangles, folded in half (2 strips over the other 2)? Is that it is?
What a gorgeous effect, I can't wait to see the rest!
Have a wonderful week :)

Teresa you sew two strips at a time, that is correct, but then you put those two strips on top of each other, right sides together, make sure white is not facing white, and then you sew both sides again. I think they call it tube.
ReplyDeleteYou wait until I put them together, because there is a technique too. I tell you, the more I do Patchwork the more I love it.
And the classes are so much fun. Truly enjoyable. Can't wait to show you the first steps in December.
I am so glad you like it, the fun will start once you start putting all together, it's like doing a puzzle, because there's light and dark, and obviously you don't want same colours together.
Have a great week Darling xxx
