I take 6-1/2 squares of muslin and sew strips laying diagonally in the middle from corner to corner. Then attach strips working outwards. When done, trim square to the muslin 6-1/2 square. When you have enough squares, connect in any manner you desire to the desired size quilt. I find that either a red or yellow border looks best because it makes the other colors pop. Most of the time I use red. I machine quilt all of these quilts usually on the diagonal.</p>http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/263429.aspxSat, 08 Oct 2011 15:21:47 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:263429Linda5<p>Our Women in Mission has a convention every couple years. I have had the honor of being asked to make the quilt/banner to represent our local group. At the end of the convention the quilts are given to the local pregnancy crisis center. This quilt has machine applique, machine quilting that echos the wording in the center. Two of the fabrics have musical instruments and bugs playing musical instruments. The design is my own. God has been merciful and given me grace since my car accident 4 years ago, so I consider this a very special honor to have been asked to make this quilt.</p>
