Marsha here. Astrid and I are making on-point four-patch quilts. We decided to use our red, white, and blue stashes. This quilt type of construction is great for string-piecing. That means you feed the blocks, to be sewed together, through your sewing machine one immediately after another. It saves a lot of thread and time.
It was a great day for staying in and piecing quilt blocks, because it snowed today! Now, we just have to snip the threads between each block and press them. Then we can sew the rest of the white triangles to the other two sides of each block. We are movin' and shakin'!
