COLLAB QUILT TOP TOGETHER

 I put the last seam in on the BP-Monday Sewcial Collab quilt top.  It went together very easily.  I had checked each block for size when they arrived and almost all were right on.  I did make some minor adjustments to a few, which made the final sewing together a breeze.  

FINISHED WITH GRACE

 I got back to work on my block for the BP Sewcial Collab 2026 today and finished it.

First I made the next two letters and sewed them to the others and squared it to 18".

The cut 4-1/2" one way:

Then cut those strips into 4-1/2" blocks.

Then I moved them around, turning and trying different combos until I was happy with the design, and sewed them together.

SECOND LETTER

 Here is my some of my process of making the next letter in this project.  As in the first letter, I'm using the original freezer paper pattern.  I divided this letter up into parts and made the individual parts and then sewed them all together.  Here I show just my process for just one part.

I take the pattern of the part I'm making from tracing paper and use tailor's chalk to mark the sewing lines onto the fabrics.

Then add a 1/4" seam allowance and cut the pieces out.

I pin the beginning corners together to line them up exactly.

I use an awl to keep the edges of the fabrics lined up.

With this method I can get pretty close to the pattern.

Then I cut the curve on the opposite side.

This curve wasn't laying flat.  I pressed it to show how it should have lined up, then re-sew in the crease. This will make it flat.

I pin the pattern and then trim. Starting with oversized pieces allows for some adjustments before trimming.

I didn't get the curve sewn perfectly on the line.  However it isn't that important in this project.  What is important is that the black is the correct width where it will line up with the section next to it so the line will look like one continuous line.

All of this oversized parts sewn together that now need to be trimmed.

I pressed the original freezer paper pattern onto it, lining up the important lines.

Then I trimmed a 1/4" seam allowance on the two sides.  I'll still leave the top and bottom until the whole piece is together.
