This Versatile Technique Offers Many Design Options!

Are you looking for a way to quickly put a quilt together? This fold and sew technique, demonstrated by Peg Spradlin, gives you many creative options while making quilt blocks a breeze to complete.

For each block she starts with a 10″ layer cake square and a 5″ charm square. Rather than cut and stitch pieces together, she cleverly layers and folds the fabric, only sewing to cover raw edges (and not cutting at all).

The result is a quickly finished block that is super easy to make. This may be the ultimate block construction method for beginning quilters, and anyone who wants to finish up a quilt in just a few hours.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
