Joyful Quilt-Along | Block 14 | Lisa Bongean | Primitive Gatherings

Hey everyone, it's Lisa from Primitive Gatherings, and it's time for another joyful gathering quilt along block We are over halfway. This is 14. It's all downhill from here. We got this We'll get all 25 blocks in by Christmastime However, I think you're only gonna get one this week because we can't fit in another video We're crunched on time before but we'll do two two weeks in a row. Alright, so there's your warning All right, so it's 14 Make sure you go download from Lisa von gene.com and print out your block number 14 I have done a little bit of pre sewing here. Like I said, we're crunched for time So I did all the hat square triangles already. That's your two rectangles that you're going to need and you are going to need Let's see. What paper was that three-quarter inch finished Okay, so then I did do some flying geese I did three of them, but I saved one For our video here, even though you're probably expert by now on Doing flying geese. So I'm just going to lay those right sides together And as you know, I cut all my things the right size I don't use lock block rulers or anything like that or any fancy tool. I just old-fashioned starch precise cutting and precise sewing It works, all right, so I'm just going to sew the long side here on this triangle I'm gonna finger press that over quickly Add the next one on It's always crazy busy right before we go to market You never know if we have all the things that we need done before we go All right, so there's my unit. I'm gonna trim here trim there trim there Okay, so now I can put my block together according to my diagram here Starting with the star in the middle. I am going to That there. Well, I guess we can sew these together first. So let's sew these all together first No, they didn't do it that way Okay, I'll do it like the directions All right, so I got Little star there. I have to triangle to make my star There we go. So many different ways to put a block together, right? Doing it upside down Whatever way you do this as long as you come out in the end with the star block You're good Okay How does that look It all look good. See that's me. That looks like way too much to sew at one time All right, so I am gonna sew these three first here. I'm gonna put these two together like that And so as much as I can without pressing Until I have to We got a little little block inside our star surround Okay, so these are gonna go out And this one's gonna go in Toward the center There we go, all right, so now I'm gonna start sewing some of these Together so I might want to start on the sides first Not that you have to start on the sides first start wherever you want We're all gonna end up at that same spot Hopefully I won't have to get the ripper out this time right like I did in that block a couple couple times ago It's okay it happens So I got these ready and I'm gonna figure out which way to press those after I get this one sewn together. I Like it when I don't have to use pins Take a look looks good press those seams open Fingers aren't working as good this morning as they normally do This is a super cute block just like that Okay. Now look at those seams. I press them open so it doesn't really matter which way they're gonna go So I'm naturally just gonna press them to the outside to the small triangle Again, if you want to open those up you sure can Now I'm gonna get the pins out Yeah And I really love these magic pins. How many of you are using them now? I got a mix mix max of sizes in here some long some short. I prefer the shorter ones actually So see how I got two different sizes here. This is a size. I really like these seem to bend sometimes Peel that back to make sure that seam is lining up finger press So how many of you thought you could never do these tiny shapes I love it when people tell me that They never did this before like this and now they can do it It's super fun to learn new things And just every day Keep learning keep pushing yourself. Keep trying new things That's what makes clipping fun All right, what do we got so those are going that way so maybe press these two and then those that so Toward the squares and then toward the flying geese This is a pretty block Much more pins on this one four seams that we gotta make sure they line up with I Think it's funny when you guys tell me how many pieces are in each block Because to me it doesn't matter what size they are Everything's the same. They're still sewing that same quarter inch seam. So what's the difference if it's a 12 inch block or a 6 inch block or a 10 inch block or a 5 inch block We can do it All right, let's see what we got Pretty good. You can do a smidge over But not big enough to move. All right Even though I pinned So I use the strip stick when I have all these other seams so I don't mess those up But when I'm only doing one seam and there's not anything else to mess up. I really don't use it you can If it makes it easier and sometimes it does then trying to finger press like I do Get it started and then go from there That out of the way There's our block Trim the threads without cutting my sleeve These are some monster sleeves on this look at that they like So I'm like It's flying geese always just kind of wing out a little bit. So that's usually when I trim That's what I'm trimming is a little bit of that flying geese shape And the threads of course There we go That one just needs a little help I can definitely live with that though There you go block 14 all stitched ready to go and remember block 15 and 16 will be next week
