I always make my own bias tape. I used to do it the old fashioned way cutting each strip and sewing it together one by one. Then I came across this method a long time ago but I never really gave it a go until recently. But I’m sold now.
Making continuous bias tape is so quick and easy and it can be made for any width of bias tape and starting with any size square.
The second project is an origami bag you can make with just 6 large squares using 6 fat quarters.
You can make the bag in a couple of hours and use your favourite prints you can’t get yourself to cut into little pieces.
My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)
