TASTER: Chieveley Quilt from Lewis & Irene with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Jul-2018
Valerie talks you through the various pieces that make up the block, which includes half square and quarter square triangles. Also, she explains that while you need to cut out in 1/8ths of an inch, this shouldn't be too scary as your ruler does the work.
These is a helpful tip too from Valerie about cutting through the various layers. And she likes to keep the counting to a minimum, but cutting sufficient for each block in one go.
As these blocks appear to spin, you do need to make a decision on which way they are going to go - it doesn't matter, but the plan is that they all spin in the same direction. Of course you can be a rebel and have one or two going the wrong way!
Here is the link to the free pattern download.
But you will obviously not get to enjoy all the helpful tips.
