Mad Dash Wrap Up

Posted on October 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s a wrap! We’ve covered every topic I can think of related to making a Mad Dash quilt, and I hope if you made one (or are making one) that all the extra hints and tips and pictures helped out. I’m still working on mine. I got three more blocks done this past week! So […]

Posted on October 3, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Woohoo! If you’re ready for the final assembly, then you’ve done a great job! It’s time to put all those sections together. You DID label your sections as you went, right? The main thing for the final setting is to make sure that you have each section in the right position and turned correctly. This […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 26

Posted on September 26, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s the final section! Woohoo! So close to being completely done! Here’s my original pink/gray version’s section nine: Here’s my orange/low-volume section nine: We’re finishing up with a bang — this section has it all — blocks using the templates, swapped corners, and a partial seam! But none of that should bother you now that […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 24

Posted on September 13, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s time for Section Eight! Only one more section after this. You should be getting faster at the assembly part, since you’ve done all the hard things at least once. And if you have your stockpile of blocks done, which you should by now, it’s all gonna be fast to finish from here. And I […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 22

Posted on August 30, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

We’re on to Section Seven this week! How are you getting along with your Mad Dash quilts? I know we’re all at different points along the path. I’m still sewing blocks for my stockpile, slower than ever, and only have one section assembled. Some of you are behind me, some ahead of me, and a […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 20

Posted on August 16, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Twenty weeks to make a quilt, and we’re not done yet??? That’s right — there’s a lot of sewing in this one! And I’m making zero progress on mine right now. I still can’t run my rotary cutter. Oddly, when I had my arm in a cast, I could still cut, but there’s definitely something […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 18

Posted on August 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

We’re close to the halfway point, I believe. Section Five is the very center section, and it’s all background! Here’s my original version: Here’s my orange/low-volume version: My one tip for this section is to make sure you definitely have your one-third/two-thirds blocks turned correctly, so that when they match up with the sections next […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 17

Posted on July 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I’m glad I had some blocks cut out and ready to sew before surgery, or I would not be making any progress at all. At least I can feed pieces through the machine, and I’ve actually completed two more blocks since surgery. I can’t rotary cut at all, not even with the ergonomic cutter this […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 16

Posted on July 18, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s time for Section Four already! Here’s my original (a dark photo for some reason): Here’s a much better shot from my second version: There’s a partial seam in this section, but you should be a pro at that after Section Three, so I know you can handle it. Refer back to this tutorial post […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 15

Posted on July 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

How’s it going? We should be 1/3 through the section assembly by now. Personally, I am not quite there yet, but I made some good progress this past week. I’d like to get some more cutting done this week. I’ve been using my small blocks as leader/ender pieces for other things that I have to […]
