APQS Video Tutorial: Lazy Daisy

This bright and colorful quilt came to fruition through your votes on layout and design. You helped us create this lap quilt and now it's your chance to win it!

Quilters on one side of the iron insist, “Always press toward the dark fabric!” The other side chants, “Always press to reduce bulk!” As a quilt piecer, I want it all—I don’t want my dark colors showing through my light fabrics; I want my patchwork to be accurate and I want it to be flat. But as a longarm quilter, eliminating bulky intersections that can break needles or distort quilting lines tops the list.

This border and corner design is perfect for quilters who are new to longarm quilting and are looking for a custom quilting design.

Any quilter who has packed supplies for a weekend retreat knows how hard it is to decide what to bring and what to leave behind. Imagine trying to make those decisions when your trip won’t be just for a weekend, but potentially for a lifetime!
