Box 1456, Lafayette, CA 94549 This book is born of a lesson learned while making my first quilts Simply - photo 1This book is born of a lesson learned while making my first quilts Simply - photo 2 This book is born of a lesson learned while making my first quilts. Simply this: read quilt pattern instructions ... and then question them! Per a designers instructions, I made a bed quilt entirely with four-at-a-time half-square triangles, not knowing how stretchy and distortable theyd be. Of course my seams didnt match! Lesson learned. Later, I participated in a Block of the Month quilt that required many flying geese units.

The instructions called for the thrifty and efficient four-at-a-time no-waste technique. But I opted to paper piece them instead because the flying geese would have the precise results I love. As you read quilt block instructions, notice how theyre usually broken into units: half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, flying geese, square-in-a-squares, and so on. It isnt hard to substitute one technique for another that best suits your time-constraints, amount of fabric, or desire for precision! I hope you find this book a one-stop place to learn many basic techniques! Most methods include a sample block in several sizes to give you that lovely aha moment of how any given technique can work for you.

When you sew together two fabrics that have seams, make sure that they are pressed in opposite directions. Place the fabrics right sides together, with the seams nestled against one another.

Best practice is to pin on both sides of the nested seams to secure the fabric. You will have matched seams on the front and less bulk to sew through! Four-Patches from Strips When you need to make many identical four-patches, it is much more efficient and accurate to sew them from strips. It is a common quilt block element that also stands up well on its own.
