Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps
You can learn how to assemble your quilt blocks to finish off your Seminole patchwork quilt.
Well done for completing our 2021 Block of the Month quilt! I hope you’ve enjoyed creating these quilt blocks over the last 12 months. If you need a reminder of what backing and wadding/batting amounts you’ll need to construct your quilt, take a look at my introduction to 2021’s Block of the Month. I will walk you through the four stages of finalising your quilt, including: joining the blocks, adding prairie points, bagging out and tie quilting. Tie quilting can cover any dodgy seam matching, so just have fun with it and enjoy your finished quilt!
