I signed up for the Journey2Nebula in preparation for the Tula Pink Nebula Quilt BOM
(starting in 2021).
I have so very much to learn and other things to refresh... I am so grateful to Jaybird Quilts for the time and energy she gives to all of us to share her knowledge and love of quilting.

Her rulers and patterns are fantastic and were purchased to participate.
I joined her FB group... and I was in!
Everything is broken up by weeks...
Week 1 was pattern prep
& week 2 assembly.
Week one I focused on using my super sidekick
(& eventually the regular sidekick)
to cut out all my fabric pieces.
(I chose fabrics from Tula's Slow & Steady collection.)

Week 1: I am ready to float SEASIDE! Diamonds all cut! #journey2nebula, #jaybirdquilts, #seasidequilt, #tulapinkslowandsteady
So, I took her tips and got going as soon as I could.
I put my walking foot in place and quilted away... keeping it simple, following the piecing and creating an outline to further enhance.
I was so excited to finally see it fully pieced!
I used a fusible batting and prepared for machine quilting on my Babylock with my walking foot..
I decided to try something new and create a jazzy border with instructions from a
Susie's Magic Binding video placed on line by "Aunt Marti" from 52 quilts.
It involved cutting 2 different color binding strips and piecing them creating the binding.
I think it added an extra special tweak!

I did all the binding by machine on this one! Starting on the back... and then flipping to bring binding to the front. I did my best to stitch in the ditch between the 2 fabrics. in the seam of the 2 fabrics.
