A friend of mine bought this pattern. Has anyone done this quilt? If so do you have any tips. It seems fairly easy but Ive not done a origami quilt before and wondered if theres a "trick to it".

I started an origami quilt. No they're not that hard once you get the folding down. Make sure you use your iron!

I have one that is just made of fabric it looks like it would be a lot of fun to tackle!!

I've tried folding the pieces and I'm having trouble with the sleeves. one always seems to be longer than the other. Its very unusual. To me its a waste of fabric. It has been a fun project to help with.

did you use a small seam iron?

I didn't but my aunt did - I got her hooked on it :oops: . Just make sure you don't iron over previously ironed lines. You need 'em!
