Welcome to the Rajah Quilt Revisited!

[Barbara S.]

Oh, I am tempted to make this years BOM, haven't done a TQS BOM for several years. Did Ruffled Roses and Stars for a New Day. I really liked the way those turned out.

Trying to decide what colors to use.....I would like to pull from my stash.

Also, whether to make original center or use something else. I think the original center may be growing on me but not wild about it.

The first video for the Rajah Quilt BOM is posted. The video is by Julie Cefalu on Rotary Cutting Basics where she shows how to do a cross cut, cut sub-units, and cut a strip that is wider than your ruler.

Here's the link:

I plan to do this quilt as well. I hope to use reproduction fabric from my stash. I have not done a TQS quilt since Ruffled Roses, but I love history and I really like this quilt, so I'm throwing my hat into the ring.

I am making my center different, I am just going to have the birds but will add some more birds and nothing else.

I haven't started the BOM yet I'm still deciding on fabrics :unsure: Although applique and broderie perse are my absolute favourite sewing to do, I love Rosemary's suggestion of using a period reproduction piece of fabric for the centre too.

I always wash and press my fabrics. I do a lot of needle turn applique and washing makes the fabric hand soft so I can turn the edges under with ease. Even with piecing, I wash my fabrics and then use Best Press to starch, then press.

I cant seem to find the BOM show and tell can anyone give me the instructions, sorry but must be missing something but thank you.
