Primary TechniquePieced

Materials:

  • Assorted fabrics, at least 14 inches long
  • Scissors
  • Quilting ruler
  • Sewing machine

Instructions:

  1. First cut your strips - wonky, straight, measured, whatever. You'll want to cut the strips longer than 12.5" because you will need a slightly larger block. We will be cutting and re-sewing the strip block to create a 12.5" block. Aim for about 14" strips.

  2. Sew your strips together. Straight, wonky, whatever.

  3. After your strips are sewn together, you may want to straighten up some edges (or not). Then make between 2-4 cuts in the block.
