I use her 'old' method. I have seen recently she has a new one, like from a few years ago, where she cuts the strips to the sizes needed.
I guess that was her tweak for her first method. When using her first method some of the blocks come out wonky.
I have figure out a way to use her old method and still get a pretty square block so I am sticking with that.
These are not quilts to put into a juried show. Not all the seams coincide. These are the quilts I make to use up all the strips I have. I guess they become memory quilts because I remember the other patchworks I've made using those fabrics.
I love putting all the colours together. I've made several using this method. Love them.
These are blocks I found while reorganizing the shelving in my studio.
They were already made, just sitting in a shoe box. I think I originally wanted to make this one large which is why they were still in the box...waiting for me to make more.
I decided to sew them up to whatever size it gave me. Turns out it's 40" x 50", or 104 cm x 128 cm approximately.
This one will be quilted in a few days. Then the relaxing part of sewing on the binding- one of my favourite steps in quilt making.
