Nabby's Dowry Sew~Along Part Twelve

Welcome to the Big Reveal!!!

Here's what you've been working toward these past many weeks.....

Nabby's Dowry Sew~Along Quilt

I really, really hope you like how the quilt has turned out!!!  I'm loving it.  Having the blocks set on-point gives them a new look, and I love the "Flying Geese" points radiating from the center square.  The quilt has lots of movement to it as your eye travels from place to place, and the quilt setting not only calms the quilt, but also serves to separate and anchor the blocks.

Here's the cutting instructions for finishing your quilt:

From the 3/8 yard of light for setting triangles:

*Cut (2) 12 5/8" squares - cross cut twice for side triangles.

*Cut (2) 6 5/8" squares - cross cut once for corner triangles.

From 3/8 yard of red print for sashing:

*Cut (3) 1 1/2" x WOF strips; subcut (18) 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strips for block side sashing.

*Cut (4) 1 1/2" x WOF strips.  These are the long, horizontal (in-between rows) sashing strips.   

Measure the length of your rows and cut.

From the 1/2 yard of brown plaid for borders:

*Cut (4) 3 1/2" x WOF strips.

From the 1/3 yard of red for binding:

*Cut (4) 2 1/4" x WOF strips.

Finishing instructions:

*Sew your quilt top together in a diagonal set.

*Sew a 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strip onto the sides and in between the blocks; in all cases, press to sashing.

*Arrange the long sashing strips, the blocks, and the setting triangles as shown in the photo.  Sew together, diagonally, into rows; again, press to the sashing.  Sew rows together; press.  Your quilt center should measure approximately 30 1/4" square.

*Sew brown plaid side borders first, then top/bottom borders; press to the borders.  

*Your Nabby's Dowry quilt should measure approximately 36 1/4" x 36 1/4" unfinished.

Once again, I'd love for you to take a picture of your quilt and send it to me in an email for an....

Airing of the Quilts!

I know everyone enjoys seeing all the different quilts just as much as I do!!  All you have to do is sew your top together.  It does NOT have to be quilted!!  Email a JPG photo of your quilt to me at Pam@HeartspunQuilts.com.  Tell me where you live (state or country is good) and anything else you'd like to add.  Like, how you chose your fabrics, why you participate in sew-alongs,  what else is happening in your life....anything you'd like to share.  I think it will be fun to read about other peoples experiences, and what they've been sewing with, etc., while we've all been piecing together.  After all, we've been meeting here on my blog every Friday for the last 12 weeks!!  So, lets get to know each other a little better!  If you'd feel more comfy just giving your state or country, that will be just fine, too! No worries!!  

Send your photo no later than December 1st!
