This patchwork is NOT over papers; instead the cut out pieces are sew together with a simple running stitch and Valerie Nesbitt shows you how to turn the corner in the inset seam – or Y seam.

Description
Make Templates and Create the 3D Look
In this video Valerie shows you how to make the template and select the fabrics to create the tumbling block effect. Then she has a couple of tricks to help make the sewing really tough at the corners.
Traditional Patchwork
Traditional sewing means that it is very portable. This may suit your lifestyle well if you hang around in cars waiting to collect someone – kids or husband! Also if you commute it’s a great way to use the time and create a quilt without really seeming to have spent hours at it!
Scraps and History
Sort out your scraps too and create a wonderful heirloom quilt – Jo used lots of fabrics that had meaning to her family and their life.
No Papers involved
Handpiecing the traditional (American) way is by using a simple small running stitch; you do however need to have a template and mark your sewing line on the back of your fabric.
This is NOT over papers.
