Part 8 is a pretty applique block but there's more to this tutorial than meets the eye!
The videos are free for everyone to learn and enjoy on YouTube, click on the video at the bottom of this post to watch.
In the part 8 tutorial we show how to square an applique block with a regular patchwork ruler.
It’s a quick 10-minute tutorial and it’s a handy skill to add to your patchwork and quilting repertoire.
You'll also see a quick recap of the 1 to 3 quilt as you go method, as we join the applique block to the Diamond Star Block. This is an easy, fully machine sewn, no sashing method.
If you're interested in easy applique, then don't miss our applique video, it's moving, inspiring and educational. You'll realise that there is a deeper meaning to pretty pictures that are made with fabric! One comment we received was that it was better than a TV show!
We also think that our Birds and Banksia applique would make a beautiful cushion.
(The course notes are available separately and contain full size pattern sheets)
This video shows how to make an easy cushion with no piping or zipper.
We are very excited with how the Island Home mystery quilt is coming together! The Birds and Banksia block takes pride of place at the top of the quilt.
