I guess I'm really slow in my head I just don't understand the water quilting concept at all, from what I've seen here you buy a premade kit with a grid that you iron the fabric squares to to make the quilt? What is the difference between that & just sewing the pieces together? I really want to understand this, can anyone help me with other than what I'm thinking it is? Thanks in advance to anyone with the patience to help me understand all this.

Hi Jeri -
I would say it is much less about sewing technique and all about color choice and blending. I didn't do my wreath quilt from a kit -- I did have a pattern, but I chose and blended all of the fabrics & colors so they 'flowed' and 'popped' in certain areas. I am far from a master, but I thoroughly enjoy picking all the fabrics and determining placement with even some fussy cutting on certain pieces.
That wreath pattern was done with strips -
