I made the table runner shown in first video. Was a quick and fun project. Did not have the pattern, did it by watching. Had some pinked candies and the others I cut 2.5. I have washed it twice and it seems to be holding well.

Seems like the same thing to me.

I made the first quilt that they made in this manner I can't remember if the name of it was nickel and dime but I didn't have any real problem with it after being washed only that the edges ravel a bit but that is the charm of it. I even did it in the Kansas Troubles fabrics it went to a home that is primitive style so fits right in.

Thank you for the links. I'm not sure I will try 2 packs of hexagons are expensive to try a project. Surely a laser cut only does the extreme edge and will wash out or iron out. Is it just a honey comb with another ruler.

I haven't made a quilt using this method, but I would think it would not stand up to multiple washings and it might also come loose with wear over time.

The quilt on my avatar is made using this method. I gave it to my DD and she and her cats love it. Needless to say, it gets washed often--no problems with the top pieces holding on. They do fray slightly, but that adds to the charm IMHO.

Here's the link. I'm really puzzled about the comment that laser cut pieces won't ravel. Just applying heat to cotton isn't going to fuse the edges. I'm wondering if something is applied, although the descriptions say 100% cotton.

I bought a couple of packs of Moda white hexies for a project that got scrapped/changed. They are laser cut and the edge (a very scant 1/4" in) looks like it's been singed--so maybe when the laser cuts it sorches the edge just a bit??

Laser cutting does seal the edges as it cuts due to the high power involved, check out wickipedia too involved for me to explain.

I am with you and others..Not sue how it would look after being washed...

Has anyone done a quilt using this method and how does it look after repeated washing?

Looks interesting, to me.
