Strips & Strings scrap patchwork quilt
This delightful workshop is a great scrap quilt called Japanese Stars & Lanterns, and takes its inspiration from antique quilts which were often made with strips and/or strings. This patchwork can be worked by hand or by machine and is great for beginners too, since there is no accurate seam allowance needed.
Rotary cutting turntable
For trimming up the squares a rotary cutting turntable might be something to think about and certainly investing in a 6 1/2″ square ruler makes life much simpler when cutting for a large quilt. – see our little video in the General Interest section about new rulers and the turntable. – if you would like to purchase one go to : www.creativequilting.co.uk
