Quilting: How To Attach a Flange

Friday, January 5, 2018

You can take a look at TheCraftyQuilter's Adding a Flange to Your Quilt for seeing how to surround a quilt block with a flange (a little like welting, but turning corners with a mitered-binding-corner approach). We're not turning corners with our flange, just adding a little flange on one side of each of our larger triangles.

1. Cut 3/4" strips (sew together pieces to make long enough, as needed).
   
   
2. Iron strips in half, wrong-sides facing each other.
   
   
3. Make enough flange strips (for the triangle tree skirt, we need 6).
   
   
4. Pin raw edges of flange to raw edges of quilt block.
   
   
5. Sew flange to quilt block with scant 1/4" inseam.
   
   
   
6. Continue sewing flange strips to all quilt blocks as needed. Trim ends.
   
   
7. Pin raw edges of quilt blocks to one another.
   
   
8. Sew quilt blocks together with 1/4" inseam, iron open. Using a scant 1/4" inseam on the flange, and a full 1/4" inseam on the quilt blocks, should hide the flange seams.

9. Continue sewing quilt blocks together, leaving one triangle pair unsewn.
   
   

Now your quilt top is completed!
