I have finished the sampler quilt using the Westalee rulers. With some trial and error (taking careful notes and making samples), I seem to have identified the right settings for free motion on my Pfaff, and these work on the Westalee foot and rulers as well. (I still need lots of practice).
I finished the last block, just filling it up with linked circles. Then I did the quilt as you go sashing, which was surprisingly time consuming.
I originally made 14" blocks, but only used 12" interior block space for the quilting. That left an inch seam allowance all around. I used 2.5 " sashing, so the 1 inch of seam allowance filled up those 2 inches. On the outer sashings, I sewed an extra 1.25 " strip of batting to the seam allowance so the outer borders would be full. the mistake I kept making was forgetting to sew the sashing on both sides at the same time. The nice thing is the quilt is totally reversible. it's about 45 x 45.
