easy peasy... thanks for sharing
|
I love how easy this looks. I have a lot of scraps that I am going to use for one of these type quilts. Thanks for sharing.
|
Needed a new pattern for the 15th Quilts for kids I am making this month.. Starting today.. I do think that
newspaper was used in the "olden days" lol |
The string quilting isn't new, I learned to sew at the age of 6 doing these for my mom, as long as they were big enough to seam together it was used to make our quilts. I still sew strips together to make scrap quilt blocks.

Love this - the papers would really simplify it.
|
I just ordered the foundation paper from her. Only $10.00 for around 250 pieces. Free shipping. How wonderful is that.
|
The first big quilt I did was a string quilt. My mentor recommended using muslin for the foundation. This can be from anything--even an old sheet with holes in it. Don't have the bother of taking the paper out and it also adds another layer of "batting". Might be a good solution for a summer quilt that doesn't need the thermal effect of regular batting??
|
Does anyone know what kind of iron she is using in the tutorial? Is it shutting itself off when it raises up & what makes it raise up?
|
And did you see that cute fabric carrot tutorial that she did also? It's too late for Easter of this year but maybe for next year? I can just see a basket full of them on the table.
