I would love to see how your quilt turned out, you never showed the end result😢

[@HandiQuilter]

You are correct!! If you would like to see a picture of the finished quilt, email hqevents.com and we can send it to you!

Just saying, I wanted to do the Alaska quilt since two years, and as soon as I saw the first of your videos a few weeks ago, I decided it was time! Thanks for giving me the push I needed to start this journey!

Silvia! This made us so happy. Let us know how it goes!!

Hello from Kent WA

[@AnneY-t4y]

Two quick questions: Is there no need to turn in the raw edge of the short sides of the sleeve?
And why does everyone put the seam of the sleeve in the middle of the back when sewing it into the binding, instead of sewing those two long edges into the seam while attaching the binding? Then there is no visible seam on the sleeve. 🤔 I understand if the sleeve is added after the binding is attached, but if the binding has not yet been sewn on…?🤷🏼‍♀️ (Or is this because of my long history of garment sewing?)

[@HandiQuilter]

Both of those questions can be answered as it is a personal preference. It definitely could be done either way!
