Make a Simple Quilt Block. Easy & Beautiful

12/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Recently, I have fallen in love with choosing a nice quilt block, and then using my scraps and left over jelly roll strips to make it until it results in a beautiful but easy quilt.  This video shows just that, with clear instructions in the video so you don't need a pattern.

Beth Shibley says:
Sew along with me as I make this easy quilt block with some soft and pretty batik fabrics. I am using 2 1/2" strips....but a jelly roll would work as well. My quilt has 42 blocks...so I needed 42 strips of fabric. I was able to get TWO blocks from TWO strips of fabric. Each block is 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Thank you to Beth.  If you want to see more of her blocks and patterns: Click Here

Paper Piecing Pattern and Videos for successful Paper Piecing.

I happen to love doing Paper Piecing. I recently saw a different teacher demonstrate how to do it, and they totally confused me!  So I thought I would share this beautiful pattern, Celebration Wreath, and the great videos I like on the technique. It is the same method I first learned from a local teacher, and I love using Carol Doak's paper.  Each of us is different, but I hope this is helpful.

Quilt Tip: Unsewing or "Ripping Out Seams" Much Faster

12/5/2022

Here is a technique that  you might consider trying!  I had my doubts, but it worked so easy and fast!  Just like in the video. If you haven't heard of this, you will want to give it a try.

PS: Once you have the seam unsewn, use a sticky lint roller to pick up the bits of thread. Voila! Done.
Below is a short video showing the technique in closeup view:
