Does anyone have a pattern or tutorial for this. I saw a tablerunner on this board that was done that way. I searched for tube piecing and the links said "not found".

To to youtube.com and look for the missouri star quilt company tutorials. Good tutorial with visual.

Thank you. I watched it and I enjoyed it!

thanks

My avatar quilt is a result of tube piecing ... a Cozy Quilts pattern. You could checkout there site to see if there are tips and hints.

It's really an Easy-Peasy technique ... and you can do so much with it for awesome results.

thanks!

This is a great technique! I have found that if I cut my strips on the bias, then tube, the bias is the seam and the four outer edges are all on the straight of grain. Have fun!

True ... you don't really need it. They usually square up to straight of grain later, as you put the project together. Plus the bias created provides that little bit of give to ease blocks together.

Quick question... could you use this for larger blocks?

I will caution you that in the Missouri Star Tute, she says 4¼" when in fact it is 4½". this is a great way to take 2½" strips and make something that works great for quilts for Project Linus. I also like the fact that you don't need a special ruler. I did buy it but it confused me more and went back to using a standard ruler. We all have fugly fabric and this pattern makes it usable.

Yes ... you just use the technique and vary it all you like!!

:lol:

Just watched this and it looks like loads of fun. One more project on my list. Gonna haffta live till 200 to finish them all.

That's how I made my avatar. I'm also making a red, white, and blue one. It's fast and easy.

You find the tutorial to the table runner here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-77376-1.htm

thanks for the tute!

This is great - I've been 'out' of the quilting world so long, can't believe all these new little tricks/techniques that make it so much easier. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks wasn't a quilter :lol:

THANKS SOOOO MUCH for sharing :thumbup:

Awesome. Thanks for the thumbs up to this web site. I never realized how much there was out there in cyberspace. I've used a computer for years, but never had the time to do much searching. Thanks again for the information.

Thanks so much!

If you go to the Wondercut ruler web site, you will find several variations of tube quilting

Wow what a great tutorial.. Now I've got to try this one out then try other tutorial on there. Thank you so much for sharing
:)

Thank you...must give this a try :-D

thanks for the tute.

I went to this web site and I could not find the variations listed under tube quilting. What am I doing wrong?

how do you control the size of the block?
