Thread: Piece Tiny Squares Using Interfacing

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

A comment near bottom of info states ---- because of being constructed this way, may not be appropriate for bed quilt.....my question, why?

I do theses 2"square scrappy blocks, but I use Bonnie Hunter's method of leaders/enders.....this seemed like a lot of prep,finishing work for a scrappy mini....JMHO

Yes you iron them on , then sew them one direction , cut open with a rotary knife , iron seams open, sew the other direction , cut open with your rotary knife .iron seams open .I have made this before & they are HARD to hand stitch , but do nicely on a sewing machine . They make foundation with the squares already printed on them so your rows are nice & straight. I made long pieces of these & joined for a queen size quilt top ,I did NOT use batting as I wanted a summer quilt & the fusing fabric gives it just enough extra weight for me .

I have made a couple of table runners using this method. I have purchased interfacing with a printed grid, so it makes lining up those little squares so easy. Press then sew- quick and easy.

Thanks for the link!
