Piecing Glorified NinePatch

Assembling a quilt with curved seams such as

Glorified Nine Patch on page 2 can be a bit tricky. Use these

techniques to make yours go together more easily.

1. Working with pieced Unit 1 on

top, pin 1 side of pieced Unit 1 to

1 D. Pin at center and near ends

(Photo A).

2. Start with needle down in first

dot, take 2 stitches, and backstitch

to dot. Continue sewing Unit 1 to D,

aligning edges as you go (Photo B).

3. Stop stitching at dot on opposite

end and backstitch to secure

(Photo C).

Binding Inside Corners

Use this technique to bind a quilt that has inside corners,

such as Glorified Nine Patch on page 2.

1. Trim batting and backing even

with quilt top. At inside corners, clip

almost to ¼" from edge (Photo A).

2. With binding on bottom and quilt

back side up, use a walking foot to

stitch binding to quilt 1⁄4" from edge.

At inside corners, pull on clipped area

to straighten the quilt (Photo B). Be

sure stitching clears the clipped area.

3. Fold binding to back of quilt. At

the inside corners, fold the binding

to create a miter (Photo C). Hand

stitch binding to quilt back, stitching

mitered fold at inside corners.

SE

W e

asy™

Sew Smart™

If your quilting does not go all the

way to the edge of the quilt, use

a walking foot to baste the layers

together about 1⁄8" from the

edge before trimming the quilt.

This circa 1940 floral quilt is a delightful contrast of mirror-image appliquéd wreaths set atop machine-pieced blocks.

Cora Arabelle Eckles Dinsmore of New Castle, Pennsylvania, made the cotton quilt, possibly from a Progress™ kit.

Beginning in the 1920s, commercially designed quilt kits became popular and readily available to home sewers. This was

due to several factors, including the advent of inexpensively produced magazines and catalogs, free mail delivery in rural

areas, and the nostalgic, yet fictional, appeal of quilting from colonial times. This is one of five quilts made by members of the

Dinsmore family in the collection of the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. h
