New England Motel Sew Along

New England Motel Sew Along

With

Brimfield Awakening

The sew along was fun and I really enjoyed using the pattern!

 If you want to look at some blocks and finished quilts

check out the hashtag #newenglandmotelsal on Instagram!

After printing the pattern I used a ruler to add a 1/4” 

and the recommend 1/2” on some sides!

This really helped when it came to trimming the blocks!

I have used Carol Doak’s 

Foundation Paper from the 

Fat Quarter Shop for about 5 years!

Print a block at a time (2 of each)

or print a bunch and trim them but I

recommend one block at a time!

Get started  - I found the 

Sewline Glue Pen is best to glue that 1st piece on.

(So worth the money)

True story - I couldn’t find my Sewline so I used a kids glue stick! 

Nightmare, it really slowed me down when

I was removing the papers!

Marking and using scrap bins, where really helpful.

Lots of Heather Ross fabric is being used!

I numbered my pieces to kept track of the outside pieces!

Here you see the 1/2” added (make sure you add it to you masters!

Here is a good look at making the stars!

I pulled the papers off the back at my granddaughter’s birthday party!

Is great for beginners and experienced quilters!

Live you life happily,
