What's "Tube quilting"?

"Tube quilting" is where you sew a long series of strips together, sew them into a closed tube (no open seams besides the ends), and then cut them a particular way to make a block.

Here's the video to explain the process for this block in particular. They have lots others!

Great story, pretty quilt block. Very nice!!!

Thay looks like a fun quilt.

There is no such thing as a coincidence. The universe is working as it should and your happy situation is just proof of it. :)

Serendipity at its best. What a great story.

Sometimes it just all comes together. I love your quilt block.
