Have you ever had an opportunity to take a look at the Prairie Plaid Quilt but?  After I designed this quilt, I used to be impressed by the basic buffalo examine sample, however with a artistic twist!

Do you know? The Flying Geese quilt block dates all the way in which again to the 1800s!?

This basic block is extremely versatile and works superbly in each conventional and fashionable quilts. There are a number of methods to make a Flying Geese block, however my favorite is the No-Waste Methodology.

For one, I don’t love the material waste that comes with the standard technique. I’ll admit, I’m not the best scrappy quilter, so I attempt to decrease leftover material every time I can! Plus, the No-Waste Methodology makes 4 Flying Geese directly, which is a big time-saver. Naturally, that is the strategy I used for this quilt sample!

Let’s speak Presser Ft!

I primarily sew on a Janome Continental M8, which has a superb 1/4″ seam foot, an incredible alternative for piecing. Nonetheless, my all-time favorite for reaching correct and constant 1/4” seam allowances is the HP Presser Foot and HP Needle Plate.

The HP Presser Foot is a slim, compact, narrow-gauge industrial foot designed for precision. It excels at stitching curves, exact topstitching, and, most significantly, flawless 1/4” seams. Merely aligning the material edge with the precise facet of the foot ensures an ideal seam allowance each time. 

Since straight, even seams are the muse of nice quilt piecing, this foot makes accuracy simpler than ever!!

The HP Needle Plate additional enhances precision with its single-stitch gap, fairly than a large opening. This design reduces material shifting and prevents advantageous materials from being pulled down into the plate. The consequence? Cleaner, straighter stitches with minimal distortion, essential for excellent piecing.

When it’s time to quilt, I swap to the Janome AcuFeed AD Open Toe Foot. It combines even material feeding with enhanced visibility, making it my go-to alternative for quilting.

The AcuFeed system ensures each the highest and backside layers of material feed evenly, retaining layers completely aligned. This eliminates material shifting, puckering, or mismatched seams, which is very helpful for quilting, binding, and stitching thick or slippery materials.

Talking of binding, when it’s time to connect the binding to my quilt, I swap the Open Toe Foot for the AcuFeed ¼” Foot for added precision! I want to connect the binding to the entrance of the quilt first by machine and end on the again by hand.

Ending Touches

I quilted a crosshatch design with 2” spacing, utilizing the quilting information bar. I then added a diagonal crosshatch design (approx 1.5” spacing) so all of the quilting strains intersect. That is also referred to as Crosshatch Mash Up!

I used 50wt Aurifil Thread in Moonshine (6724) for each piecing and quilting, which I felt was the right color praise.

I selected Painted Prairie Six by Sharon Holland for Artwork Gallery Materials for the backing and Kona Paprika for the binding. This was the right shade that was form of “half method” between Terracotta and Cocoa!
