3111: Piecing a Blue Streak – Fons & Porter
Episode 3111 Description and Preview
Marianne and Mary Fons are back to show us Mary’s sassy column quilt. Combining solid setting triangles with scrappy stars is pretty exciting! This strippy-style quilt is not your everyday type of layout. Its off-beat scrappiness makes this quilt a joy to make, and you’ll pick up a few new quiltmaking techniques along the way. Learn how to build scrappy, quirky star blocks with personality, how to use the secrets of the grainline for half and quarter square triangles, and how to prevent “row-slide” to keep your columns right where you want them.
