Quilt as desired. Michelle
started with a walking foot
on the machine and stitched in the
ditches of the pieced sashing and
blocks to stabilise the layers. She
stopped the stitching as she came to
each blue/green interrobang shape –
she didn’t stitch over the top of them.29
Fit the free-motion foot on the
machine and thread the top
with thread to match one of the
appliqué fabrics. Free-motion quilt
just inside the edge of the interrobang
and circle shapes in a loose manner
to appliqué and quilt at the same time.
Michelle went around each shape fi ve
or six times – it’s not critical to keep
on the same line each time.30
To complete the quilting,
Michelle used a walking
foot and quilted parallel lines in the
block corners and wavy parallel lines
in the border.31
Repeat Steps 22-25 on page 29
using the six binding strips you
cut in Step 5 to complete the quilt.Appliqué quilting detail (back of the quilt)
MICHELLE’S
PRESSING TIP
Pressing adjacent seam
allowances in opposite directions
makes it easier to get perfectly
matching intersections in any
quilt when you ‘nest’ or abut them
before sewing the next seam.RAINBOW CLUB
