Down Home Darling
A New Temecula Quilt Co Sew Along
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
I
purchased this amazing vintage quilt many years ago from a local dealer,
Down
Home Antiques. I have always wanted to remake it and with the arrival
of my
latest line, Bygone Browns from Marcus Fabric it seems like the perfect time.
Gather a large variety of browns, lights and a touch of blue and let's sew
along together.
You can order a bundle of Bygone Browns here.
Here are a few Down Home Darling Details
Finished Quilt 61-3/4" x 76"
Finished Blocks 4-5/8"
Gather Supplies

½ yard small red print – center blocks
Large Variety of light prints | 3 yards total, Creams, light tans and light blue
Cutting
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
From small red print, cut: 8 strips, 1-3/8" x 42"
Sub-cut 208 red squares, 1-3/8" x 1-3/8"
From a variety of light prints cut a large pile of 1-1/8" x 42" strips
This
is a great chance to use up scraps, so keep in mind, strips
do not have to be
42” long. I am incorporating my Bygone Browns,
along with other great light
prints from my stash.
Batch Work
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Piecing log cabin blocks in batch
steps is my favorite technique.
Let’s get started. Grab your red squares and
using ¼” seam allowance
stitch several to one side of a light strips. Continue
until you attach
all 208 red squares to a variety of light strips
Batch Work
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Roughly cut the squares apart and finger press towards dark.
I prefer finger pressing at this point to
eliminate distortion. Give it a try!y

Squaring Up
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Head
to your cutting mat and square off the little extras on
each side of block. Be
sure to line up a ruler line with your seam
line to be sure you get a nice
straight cut. Repeat on opposite side.

I am trying out a new venture, check out my new YouTube channel
for a fun and happy way to view Down Home Darling.
So excited you have a YouTube channel! I watch mostly counted cross stitch channels. I've quilted for 47 years; there's not much new under the sun for me in that venue. However, I will jump at the chance to see what you are doing each time you post a video. I love everything you do.
ReplyDeleteYES! Loved the video. Aren't you adventurous!
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful log cabin project is right up my alley. I look forward to following along, and observing your construction tips along the way.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video as well. Liked and subscribed. Cannot turn on notifications as I was told it is a "kids channel".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. Trying to figure out how to change that.
DeleteSooo looking forward to starting this project. I've been so busy longarming for clients since the COVID situation started. Definitely need something to relax.
ReplyDeleteDo you carry some of those creams?
ReplyDeleteThere are six creams in my Bygone Brown line. The rest are from my stash.
DeleteJust ordered my bundle of browns. The question is whether or not I will be able to keep up.
ReplyDeleteI just started cutting my out today - really looking forward to this! A question - will we be using the same neutral for both pieces two and three as in the original antique or will they be different? Just trying to figure out if I need to save a certain amount from each strip to match the ones sewn. Some of my strips are on the shorter side. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have the same question...
DeleteGreat Questions! I will be using the same print for two sides.
