TIP:
When cutting your corners and side triangles, I always cut them 1/2" to 3/4" larger then needed. Fabric does not stretch and I just cut it down.

Next Sewing center together

How to Sew a Nine-Patch Quilt Block - Part Two

Pin It

Tutorial on how to make a small Nine Patch 

Cutting for ONE Block
Cut 1 Center - 1" x 1"
Cut 4 Edges - 1" x 1"
Cut 4 Center - 1" x 1"


How to make a 9-Patch


With smaller blocks:
Use the same 1/4" seam allowance you always do.
After sewn, cut the seam allowance down. 

I like to press my seams on the center row to the outside,
and the top/bottom rows to the inside. This is the way, I like to do it, but as long as they are opposite?? it's all good.

I pin everything, again, use a 1/4" seam allowance
and cut it down or in half.

Sewing A Bed Ruffle - How to Make a Bed Skirt

Pin It
I'm going to be 100% honest....
"If I knew what I know now, I would have written the check and purchased a ruffle."
And my ruffle didn't ruffle

Not hard, but planning it out, cost of fabric and TIME 
Here's a bit of what I did. Link to wall quilt HERE
How to make a bed ruffle by The Quilt Ladies

From Pinterest, me if you want to follow HERE 
I found lot's of ideas.
Measure, re-measure EVERYTHING and plan it OUT ! 

Used the old one's, thin lining. 
I left the green on until I was all done.
