February 28th: Introduction to the Perfect Points Quilt Along

Welcome! We are ready to get started with the Perfect Points Quilt Along!

Click here to read the Guidelines.

Today I am posting the Perfect Points and the Positioning Pin tutorial and the introduction to the Perfect Points Sampler pattern. This week,while everyone finishes gathering fabric, we will focus on fine-tuning our piecing skills related to triangles, points and diagonal lines. Discussion topics will be posted regularly in the Discussion Forum. Sewing will begin next week, March 6th when Lesson 1 is posted. I am eager to get started. I can tell from the group's comments you are too!

Please download both PDFs to begin.

When we get our fabric together are we supposed to organize it and cut the pieces or do the cutting as we go? Looks like labelling the fabrics and sorting in bags or envelopes(according to week to be used) might be helpful. I'm probably getting ahead of things.

I am late to this group but look forward to "perfecting" my work. I will try and get out and find the fabric I need for this project. And try to catch up with you.

Hi, thank you for the two PDF.

I will try to follow this quilt along ...

For me, there are two challenges: make a success of my points and understand the explanations in english !!!(I'm french and not fluent in english !!)

Sorry for the delay in my replies...I am new to blogging. Please check out the March 6th discussion posting for Lesson One and a discussion of precision piecing. I would suggest you wait to cut until you've read today's discussion but if you have already it is just fine.
