This is Lorna’s Saturday Surprise quilt and it was a 2012 BOM project. Lorna decided to put her blocks on point and added the criss cross sashing design which looks fantastic in the two colors giving it a woven effect.

So today I wanted to share a tutorial showing how I created the scalloped border. Are you ready to try it? First of all, here's what we're talking about. See the curved edges on the quilt below? That's a scalloped border. Around the web you can…

Funnily enough I have had 3 requests for help with quilt-as-you-go techniques via email & twitter this week! So I thought I would do a quick post outlining two different methods. This enables you to quilt blocks as you go along, and then put them all together at the end. It avoids the need to cram great big quilts through your sewing machine! The method you choose can be determined by the result you want to achieve: do you want sashing as part of the design or not! Whichever method you…
