At the June meeting of the Vancouver MQG<\/a>, members displayed mini quilts made to celebrate our Guild’s 10th anniversary back in 2020. The theme was TEN, using only our logo colours and the size was 10 x 10 inches. The mini quilts were intended to hang at the VMQG 2020 showcase. Of course, there was no showcase that year. So we showed them at the June 2023 meeting, when we were celebrating the guild’s 13th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are my mini quilts. Click here<\/a> for more information about how I made them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a recent blog post, one of my readers posted a question “At the VMQG meeting your mini quilt celebrating the guild\u2019s 13th anniversary with the narrow white strips\u2026can you blog on the technique for keeping those strips so straight and even?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how I insert skinny strips<\/strong> – I cut my strips 1\/2″ wide. I sew the first seam just under 1\/4″ from the edge, and press. For the second seam, I position my fabrics with the skinny strip on top, so I can see the first seam line. I position the needle 1\/8″ inch away from the first seam and sew the seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the front and back view of a little sample I made with an 1\/8″ skinny line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have any step-by-step photos of the process. But this tutorial by Kathy Loomis has a lot of great instructions and photos. http:\/\/andthenwesetitonfire.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/piecing-very-fine-lines.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
