How To Hand Quilt – Video Tutorial

I think this might be my favorite part of the whol I think this might be my favorite part of the whole quilt 💛 And I know I took way too many pics, but... there’s just something about sewing all those little blades together and suddenly having a Dresden plate in your hands. I'm dying.

In this chapter, we're cutting the Dresden pieces, turning them into blades, and sewing them together into a complete Dresden plate. I also show both ruler and template methods for cutting, along with tips for fabric placement and fussy cutting.

I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛 I m I really, really enjoyed quilting this grid 💛

I made the lines a little bigger this time than I did on my sample, and I ended up loving the extra space and texture it gave the quilt. It’s technically a one-inch grid, except for the rectangle happening in the center.

I marked the whole thing with a Hera marker before quilting, this was one of those really relaxing sewing sessions where you just settle in and stitch for a while.

In this chapter, we’re marking the quilt with a Hera marker and quilting the background using simple straight line quilting and a walking foot. We’re quilting the background before attaching the Dresden plate, which gives the finished mini such a pretty layered look and keeps the quilting process really manageable.
