Tails of iron lumberjack7/22/2023 Press the seam open to reduce bulk when quilting. Place the two 2-yard pieces right sides together, and sew along the long sides to make one large 72” x 82” back. You’ll then trim the salvage edges, and cut the 4 yards into two 2-yard pieces. If you get a 43-44” piece, you’ll need to purchase 4 yards. Make sure it’s quilter’s flannel, so it’s a good quality flannel. If you don’t purchase a wide flannel for your back, you can purchase a narrower piece of flannel for your quilt back instead. This size allows for at least 3 inches of fabric to extend all around the edges of the quilt top. You’ll need a 72” x 82” rectangle for the quilt back. This fabric had me at Hello! Who can resist red, black, and gray flannel prints?! I was happy to snab it when I did!! There was a line of quilters behind me ready to take it if I hadn’t! In one of the little booths the 42-piece bundle by Mammoth Flannel by Studio RK – Red Colorstory caught my eye right away!!! Layer Cake The inspiration for this quilt started with a wonderful 10” layer cake bundle I purchased at a quilting event. Rows sewn together are all pressed in one direction for a uniform look. Each individual row is pressed in the opposite direction of the previous row to eliminate bulk and help seams to lay flat. This will help you get uniform seams, and matching corners!įollow the directions described below as you press open the seams. I recommend using a special presser foot with a ¼” guide if you have one for your machine. Pin your pieces together before sewing them. The directions for this Lumberjack quilt are for rotary cutting, machine piecing, machine quilting, and the binding is hand stitched to the quilt back.Īccurate cutting and sewing enhances your final product.
