arrow tail boy quilt

I just love these fabrics from Tasha Noel. I knew an arrow tail quilt was just the place for them.  You can find the tutorial for this quilt here.

This pattern looked so easy, but if you look close, you'll realize that you're sewing vertical rows on the bias.  Which means that they move.  So when you sew the rows together, they don't always line up, but I remembered a trick that Carrie Nelson taught me back when I took a class from her to make this quilt.  

trick:  

If you have 2 segments that you're sewing together, and one is longer than the other, (when they're supposed to be the same) you put the longer side facing down, and the feed dogs inch it in.  She said sometimes you have a row that you have to flip back and forth, if you have longer segments on the top and bottom of the rows you're sewing together.

 I've used these fabrics before on several plus quilts back here and here.

 Here's my little helper spraying the quilt down.  I find that a little mist before pictures helps to deepen the colors.
