Self-binding a quilt – Tiny quilt QAL

5 Comments

Self-binding is binding a quilt with the quilt backing.

I like using self-binding for small quilts and wall hangings.

We’re going to finish the Tiny quilt with self-binding.

And this tutorial concludes our Tiny Quilt QAL. I hope you enjoyed it.

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.

Mini heart quilt block – Tiny quilt QAL

6 Comments

I love heart blocks that’s why I included this one.

The video demonstrates how to make the block with foundation piecing. In such small sizes I find it’s a lot easier to get an accurate block that using traditional piecing. but traditional templates are also available on my Etsy shop.

I used regular copy paper but you may find it to be a bit thick.

You can use special paper for foundation piecing if you prefer.

Let’s get to it!

Note: I recently started to use an Add a quarter ruler, the yellow ruler in the video, after some followers recommended it and I have to say it’s a true time saver.
