Yes Carolyn. I" Quilted as I go" That means I did the centre piece with the 3 layers. Quilted -then added the sashings with the border blocks after quilting . Then I joined them together outside was machine stitched (with right sides together) hand stitched the wadding and lastly hand stitched the backing then stitched in the ditch lastly I did the binding.

Hi Tuppy I can't quite remember exactly but I think it was around 85 " square. I made the last sashing and border a bit bigger as it had to fit on a Queen size bed.

thank you and yes it was a lot of time. But well worth it when you see the stunned look on Elaine's face when I put it on her bed. She thought I was putting her daughter's quilt I'd made for her wedding. Surprise

1179518727The Infinity Quilt. Ros, you had a lot of courage tackling that quilt. It looks absolutely gorgeous.Did you use the Sewing Revolution or did you measure the markings with your normal quilter's ruler?
by roslyn
03 Dec 2008
I did use the Sewing Revolution AFTER I decoded the instructions. As I use a Brother and it was made for the Janome the distances were wrong for me. I also did them in the 4X4 not the 5x7 that the book was printed as. Once I had instruction on that it wasn't too bad. But at the beginning I was ready to jump off the nearest bridge _ BUT i'm scared of heights. heheh

I have a Janome and was thinking of doing-one day. The Sewing Revolution is awfully expensive. I was going to play with my own measurements and a quilter's ruler.
by roslyn
05 Dec 2008
Use the measurements that are in the book. I think that you could use a quilters ruler , might be harder to do them in the circle though. Much ease with the Sewing Revolution. Good luck . Let's know how you go. Will help you if you get stuck

The Sewing Revolution is a ROUND plastic template with 1/2 " markings around it. It is 12 inches across and great for doing designs in circles and also 45 deg 60 deg and 90 deg. It was made by AnnDuncan & Kyn Gold-up-Graham or their Qwb aite www.thesewingrevolution.com.au for more info contact them and they will explain a lot better than I can. Good luck
