Fold and Sew Quilt
 

Watched a video on "Fold and Sew Quilt" today. Think I will give this a try. Here is the link if you might like to view it.

I played with it and thought a lot of waste.

I think it's a great technique to use with precuts, especially if cutting is a problem for someone. I've been meaning to try it sometime.

It is a fast and simple way to make a nice quilt when you are burned out on complex. Sometimes the waste justifies the end.

Heres a fold and sew that Jenny Doan does for Missouri Star Quilt. I made this but made them little for Project Linus. And the waste is minimal.

I loved this lady's ideas and plan to try it myself.....Thank you for sharing.

I not only watched that, but also bookmarked it....I thought it very clever and a fast technique for some quilts and precuts......

Interesting with lots of possibilities. Thank you for sharing with us.

Very interesting technique - thanks for sharing :)

I am actually doing this using a bunch of charm scraps and 10" extras.....so far, it's looking good and is certainly easy. I did first iron both the large and small squares into quarters to be sure I was able to line all up properly. That took the most time.....I am squaring each finished block to 8 3/4". It would be easy to square it off to other dimensions.

interesting way of doing things. thers always more then one way to skin a turkey.

I had seen this tutorial somewhere before and saved it to my "favorites"... thanks for the reminder, I have not yet tried it myself.

Thank you for sharing. I think I will try this.

I just tried a square in a square block like that. It's really easy. I agree that there is some waste but there is with paper piecing. The only problem i think there might be is the amount of bulk at the outside seam. I used flannel so that may have been the problem. Of course it could also have been "user error!" It was still a new and fun technique. Good luck. I hope you try it and let us know what you think.

I agree wth Onebyone.

Thanks for sharing...
