QR Code Wall Hanging Quilt Along: Quilting, Binding and finishing Wall quilt.

This is the last of the quilt along!

First I am going to talk about the back.
I decided to make it a bit interesting so I made a block with this design:
just a black square in the middle with white around and another border of black. I did it with the leftovers I had at hand.

then I added a couple of more squares:

Sorry I did not take pictures of the individual squares but I added them to the back making sure I ended with a back mesuring 34'X34". Now when I started it I thought to line it like the picture above, however as I was taking pictures I change my mind and I decided to line it like this:

Then I place the back facing the carpet then the batting and then the top facing up

Next I pinned about every other square

Now for the quilting since it is a modern design I did a minimal design, lines. Now I had a few options, just straight lines (like I did on the Tokyo Subway map quilt) , diagonal lines or a echo circular design.

I went for the diagonal lines and here is how is finished binded

Here is how the back looks on the back. You can see I should have planned better for the rod

Well I hope you like it

QR Code Wall Hanging Quilt Along: Blocks 9 and Finishing Top

Here is block 9's pattern:
Finished
Finishing Top:

Square up all the blocks. there should be 11"

The order of the blocks are as follows:

when you piece all the blocks together you will have something like this:

Then add to the top the 1" sashing. you can put sides first and top and bottom next. This is the end top, as you see the sashing or border is small enough to make a distinction on the QR Code design:

This is the top finished, Next week I will show you my idea for the back, how I quilted it and how I finished.
Til' then
Have a wonderful Day!

QR Code Wall Hanging Quilt Along: Block 1 & 3

Blocks 1 and 3

These blocks are the same design so it is really one design today for two blocks.

First of all here is the pattern

You will need 33 main fabric squares (black) and 16 background squares (white)

Now to sew them as a chain and save thread I will show you a technique Darlette taught me whilst making the Tokyo Subway Map quilt.

Place your squares on the table according to the block pattern. You will count your columns 1 to 7

Place column 2 on top of column 1

Sew on the east side of the squares first row G, then F, E and so on sew chain one by one closely. Do not trim. Press to one side and you will have something like this:

(Here I have made three columns) Imagine just with 2. Then sew column 3 each to every row and press to the other side.

You are not clipping any rows. Sew each column to each row until you finish all the columns and you will end with 7 rows connected.

Start sewing each row and you will end with your first block.

Repeat.

Congratulations you have done your first 2 blocks! You will have something like This:

Happy Sewing!

QR Code Wall Hanging Quilt Along

I have seen this new codes called QR Codes for a few years now, it seems that last year they pop all over the place. My last visit to BYU campus last fall I saw them in all rooms and places we visit, Magazines have them, advertisements, even mail. The other day I got inspired to make a wall hanger quilt inspired on this new QR Codes and thought you might want to do it with me. So I am doing a quit Along. I will post every Thursday.
Here is the Calendar:

February 24: Requirements.
March 1: Blocks 1 & 3
March 8: Blocks 2 & 4
March 15: Blocks 5 & 6
March 22: Blocks 7 & 8
March 29: Block 9 & Finishing Top
April 5: Quilting, Binding and finishing Wall quilt.

He visto estos nuevos codigos llamados QR Codes ya por varios anos, y parece que han ploriderado en este ultimo ano. Mi ultima visita al campus de BYU el otono pasado vi estos codigosen todos lados, entradas y por donde quiera que visitamos. tambien los hemos visto en revistas, propaganda en el periodico, hasta en el correo. El otro dia pense que seria una gran idea el hacer un acolchado para la pared inspirado en los QR Codes y pense que talvez les interesara seguirme y hacer uno de estos tambien asi es que estoy haciendo un SAL o QAL. Pondre entradas todos los jueves y este es el calendario:

Febrero 23: Materiales, dimensiones y preparacion.

Marzo 1: Bloques 1 & 3
Marzo 8: Bloques 2 & 4
Marzo 15: Bloques 5 & 6
Marzo 22: Bloques 7 & 8
Marzo 29: Bloque 9 & terminacion del top
Abril 5: Acolchado, Bies terminado del acolchado.

Now, I will try to follow this calendar as much as I can, however my parents are coming next week for a visit and I might be a bit busy. I have everything planned and I am quite ahead but you never know.
I hope you find this quilt interesting. I am approaching the new modern quilt side and this wall hanging quilt will be perfect for a modern room or an office very suitable for a guy.
Now you have seen the QR Codes come in different colors and you are welcome to do the color you best like. I'll do the classic black and white but there is no wrong or right way it is all about you taste.
I hope you follow me.

Ahora, tratare de seguir el calendario lo mejor posible, sinembargo mis padres vendran a visitarme la siguiente semana y estare un poco ocupada. Ya tengo todo planeado y estoy avansada en el projecto pero uno nunca sabe.
Espero que encuentren este SAL interesante. Estoy entrando en los acolchados modernos y este acolchado para la pared es perfecto para una officina o un regalo para alguien con decoracion contemporaria o mas masculino.
He mostrado QR Codes que vienen en diferentes colores y definitivanente los colores que escojan estaran perfectos aqui no hay errores, pero yo lo hare en blanco y negro.
Espero que me sigan. Algo mas, aunque siempre he tratado de escribir en Ingles y en Espanol espero poder poner todas las instrucciones en los dos idiomas, si no lo hago cuando pongo las entradas primero, lo hare poco despues gracias
