Iris folding templates
Not sure what it is but I found this a few months ago, and the Twisted Log cabin thread reminded me of it. Looks almost like paper piecing patterns??

Iris folding is paper folding with different papers for fared making, never thought about using the templates for quilting, I think it would probably be better using foundation piecing rather than paper piecing.

I have saved many of these patterns and one day will try it as a foundation pieced block. They are so neat.
I've seen pictures on "Pinterest" where some have actually folded fabric (as if it were paper) and stitched them down. As you add layers of fabric the design becomes 3 dimensional because of the fabric thickness. They then framed the block without glass. They were beautiful hanging on a wall as art.

Thes patterns are similar to those designed by RaNae Merrill in her books Mandala Quilts.her web site is www.ranaemerrillquilts.com. I love them and have tried a few but not made a quilt as yet.
