The Blue Delft Quilt

Blue Delft Quilt

This design was inspired by the colors of classic delftware pottery. To add interest to your version, use a wide variety of blue fabrics, from light to dark, for the assorted squares in the sashing and 2nd border. Use an accurate G˝ seam allowance throughout construction, so the pieced border fits well.

The Blue Delft Quilt Adapted from a Design by Cheryl Almgren Taylor for Quilting Company.

How to Make Mitered Corners on Quilt Binding

"The easiest and most commonly used binding is a double-fold binding cut across the grain of the fabric. What that means is that the binding strips are cut selvage to selvage (along the crosswise grain), just like you cut strips for patchwork. Once strips are sewn together, they’re pressed in half lengthwise so there are two layers wrapping around the edge of your quilt."
