Tesselated Zig Zag with Valerie Nesbitt

Tesselated – a jazzy word that’s often used in patchwork and it’s easier than it looks as the pattern creates itself. Made from simple half square triangles, which in turn are created using either 4” Thangles – where you just sew on the dotted line and then cut on the solid line – or the EZ Easy Angle template, which also allows you to create from the same 4.5 inch cut strips – so no maths involved – simple! (AND knowing what’s coming soon – you can use these same tools to create the Paths & Stiles quilt that Valerie is going to make next week) Watch Now+
