Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Final Assembly

 Westward Ho!

 

It's week 27, and if you've completed all the blocks A through Z for the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along, you're at your final destination, and ready to assemble your sampler quilt!
 

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler


Along with putting your blocks together and adding borders, you'll also want to prepare your binding so that it's ready to go after your quilt is quilted.
 
I have my binding ready to go and I'll be using Aurifil Mako 50 weight color 2910 to hand stitch the binding to the back of the quilt, which is a perfect match for my green binding fabric.
 
 
I hope you've enjoyed making the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler as much as I did. And I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with you! Please feel free to post any photos you may have, either work in progress, or your final quilt on Facebook or Instagram and tag your post #prairiepatchworkquiltalong! I would love to see your work!
 
The instructions to download and print below will be 7 pages long.

You'll be combining blocks Z with last week's blocks Y to make a lovely zig zag spacer unit. Instructions to download below!
 
 Next week, I'll post the instructions for the final cutting and assembly of the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler. I had so much fun putting it together, and I hope you will too!

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Block Y

 Westward Ho!

 

It's week 25, and this week we have Block Y in the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along!
 

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Block(s) Y

Blocks Y are just two lonely half square triangles, and there IS a method to my madness, as you'll find out next week for the final block release of the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along. With those two simple blocks to make, it will be a great week to play catch up if you're a little behind on your other blocks.
 
Have a great week!

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Block X

 Westward Ho!

 

It's week 24, and this week we have Block X in the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along!
 

Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Block(s) X

 
These blocks will be your border blocks for the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler quilt, so you'll be making quite a few. It's a split flying geese block and although it looks rather complex, it's actually very simple using the instructions you'll find in Prairie Patchwork.
 

Ma's Sewing Basket

The split flying geese border is the same border used for Ma's Sewing Basket, a small quilt found in Prairie Patchwork. The flying geese "points" are oriented differently, pointing away from the quilt center in Ma's Sewing Basket, versus pointing toward the quilt center in the Prairie Patchwork Quilt Along Sampler, giving it a different look.
 
If you get behind making your blocks this week, never fear, next week I'll be posting Block Y, which will be a breeze, so you'll be able to catch up!
