Making a Family Quilt: Check for Errors

Video Transcript

"Okay, once you have all your blocks put together, you're going to go ahead and check for errors. I don't have all my blocks put together so I'm switching over to another blanket that I do have pieced together. But, this is the part where you want to go through and pull your seams and make sure there are no gaps or holes because this is the time to fix it. Once you have them put together, you will only be able to repair it from the outside which will lead to outside seams which just doesn't look as nice. So you want to check every single seam and this kind of gives an example of how you can put the little blocks together or put an applique on it, or personalize -- you can just put your family name at the top. The same thing I did strips down here 'cause I just happened to have a whole lot or strips. You can also put the border on. But this is -- you can check on the inside and see; sometimes you'll notice where a hole is from the inside easier. So just look it over real good. Make sure you check over the whole thing because it'll be that one part you didn't check that has the problem, and once you have that part ready you're about ready to throw your layers together."
