Last year, the DutchMQG organized a super fun Block of the Month (BOM) project. This quilt featured a variety of designs, and I made it using many different fabrics. It turned out to be the perfect project to practice on the BERINA Q24. In this blog, I’ll tell you all about my first project with the Q24. The First Steps The BERNINA Q 24, what a machine! The Sugaridoo Studio was just wide enough for a classic frame, allowing to quilt a quilt up to 2.75 meters wide. The machine and its operation are similar to its smaller sibling, the Q16. Since I already had experience with the Q16, I could st ..read more

Welcome to the last week of the Swiss Star Quiltalong, I’m so excited to share the final steps to making your quilt top.  The construction of Swiss Star is unique, rather than piecing the quilt top in rows or columns, it is built out from the middle, with the corners as the last addition.  Trimming the corners might the hardest part, but if you’ve got a long ruler, you’ll be fine.  Let’s get quilting!
