Quilting Crafty Tip If you need to piece together a quilt back, I recommend you leave the selvages on until piecing is done. Pin your fabrics together along the selvage, right sides together. Sew your seam 1/4" away from the edge of the printing (your seam allowance may be up to 1" wide), then go back and trim off the excess fabric after your seam is sewn. This way your fabric is stable while you're sewing, and you're guaranteed that none of the selvage will show up on your quilt back. Also, be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your line of stitching so your backing doesn't fall apart as you're quilting!

Quilting Crafty Tip In an interview one old-time quilter recalled how she cut a pattern. First she cut the pieces out of newspaper and then traced and the pattern pieces onto sandpaper. By using pattern pieces cut from fine sandpaper, they don't slide on the fabric.

Quilting Crafty Tip I always keep current quilting projects in labeled gallon sized ziplock bags. This keeps all of my quilt pieces together in one place so nothing gets lost. I also store all of my 6 1/2 inch blocks in ziplocks so they are easily accessible for making a quick quilt.
