While the guys were watching hockey last night, I did something a little more interesting. I took a crafting class… and it was free!<\/p>\n

Did you know that Craftsy has a whole bunch of super high quality online classes for you to try out?<\/p>\n

\"creative-quilt-backs\"<\/a>
This class is FREE for the taking, just click. \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even though I’m not doing much quilting these days, I decided to check out Creative Quilt Backs<\/a> just to hear what she had to say.<\/p>\n

Since I’ve been a quilter for many years, there wasn’t much in the course that was new to me, but Elizabeth did give some great ideas for making the back of our quilts more interesting.<\/p>\n

\"creative-quilt-backs-block-strip\"
Add a strip of leftover quilt blocks to the back of your quilt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Her teaching is excellent and she very clearly explains concepts which can be difficult, like how to line up the repeat on a large scale print. (Love her glue stick trick!) She also does a wonderful job explaining the math involved, and says it enough times that by the end of the course you should hopefully have it down.<\/p>\n

\"creative-quilt-backs-block\"
Add a single block to the back of your quilt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A few ways you’ll learn to make your quilt back more creative:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • use a large scale print (and piece it together for a large quilt so the look is seamless)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • insert a row of pieced blocks (often leftovers from making the quilt) into an otherwise solid back<\/span><\/li>\n
  • insert a single pieced block into an otherwise solid back<\/span><\/li>\n
  • piece together the entire back (using fabric leftovers and scraps)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \"creative-quilt-backs-pieced-strip\"
    Add a pieced strip, framed with contrasting fabric strips to the back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    I have to admit that I only get creative with quilt backs when I don’t have enough of my chosen backing fabric and don’t want to buy more. \ud83d\ude00 But this class has given me ideas that I might just use the next time I finish a quilt.<\/p>\n

    Happy creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
