T-shirt Quilts

Step 10: Sewing the strips

Keep each strip of design blocks in order as you assemble for sewing.  Sew one vertical strip at a time.  In order, place the first two design blocks together with right sides facing and in the proper direction, attaching the bottom of one block to the top of the next one below and pin in place.

Sew the first two blocks together with a straight stitch keeping the 1/2 inch seam allowance.  Now align the next block (check the direction of the design) to the strip, pin, and sew.  Continue attaching design blocks until the vertical strip is complete.

As vertical strips are completed, lay out together and check for any mistakes before continuing.  Press all seams open before sewing the strips together.
