New Friday Tutorial: The Strips and Four Patches Quilt
Sometimes simple things are the most beautiful: Catching a lacy snowflake on your tongue. The first scoop from a freshly opened jar of peanut butter. That magical moment at the end of the day when you can finally trade your jeans for your favorite stretchy pants (Hooray for elastic waistbands!)
Yep, I’m a big fan of the simple joys in life. That’s why I’m loving this week’s new quilt tutorial. Strips and Four Patches is uncomplicated and gorgeous - what more can you ask for?! (And if you’re looking for a quick lesson on chain piecing and assembly line quilting, Jenny will demonstrate a few tricks to speed up your quilt production!)
