Strip Pieced Diamond Quilt with Valerie Nesbitt
Classes with Valerie Nesbitt • Educational, G, 01-May-2014
Valerie shows you how to use your 2 1/2″ strips to create this quick quilt. The diamond centre design has been based on the idea originally used with plain fabric, when we made quilts and raised awareness for Alzheimer Scotland, and if you missed that free video, you can enjoy it by clicking here.
Valerie also shares a tip with you on how to avoid long strips of fabric bowing in the middle, and therefore creating a rainbow strip rather than a straight one!
And do you know about using the threadsaver? If not – again you can click here to enjoy another free video.
