Quick Quilt as You Go
QuiltingCoach Penny
Quilters are always looking for techniques that will reduce the time it takes to cut fabric and sew their patches together.
That way you can spend more time enjoying the quilt.
This quilt uses some of the best time-saving techniques available!
The patches are simple to cut in that you just layer squares of fabric on top of each other and then run your rotary cutter through the pile.
You can use templates to cut them or not - it's up to you.
And then these blocks are sewn together using a Quilt as You Go technique so each block will be layered and quilted and then the blocks will be sewn together to finish the quilt.
To make this a little easier, I decided to use a Civil War Layer Cake fabric collection from Moda. That way, you start the project with squares of fabric that are already cut and all you need to do is cut the patches.
During the roll out of this project, lessons were posted one per week. At this point, they are all posted, so you can see them as your leisure.
Enjoy and Happy Quilting!
