About a year ago I wrote a blog post and did a video on how to fussy cut and it included 7 easy blocks that were good for the process. People enjoyed it so much that I decided to add some more. These blocks are, for the most part, a little bit trickier, but are still not difficult. They just ...
One of my favorite things is making quilt blocks. They usually come together fairly quickly and the best part is they can be turned into larger quilts. It also fun to see what kind of secondary designs quilts can make. That is why I came up with my “Fast & Easy Quilt Blocks” ...
