Paisley Park Fabric to arrive soon!
We listen for the rumbling of the UPS truck each day, waiting for boxes and boxes of Paisley Park to arrive on our doorstep. It can't be long now! As soon as the precuts arrive, we'll be kitting up some of the projects from the Layers of Love book and our Paisley Park patterns. This week, take a peek at Perfectly Paisley, a galaxy full of layered patchwork stars dancing amidst traditionally pieced 9-patches. A Layer CakeTM, background and 3 borders is all you need to create this
 |
| My layered patchwork method makes star points simple and dimensional with no chance of cutting off points. Start with a Moda precut Layer CakeTM for a whole fabric collection in one neat package. |
 |
| We've layered triangles cut from squares & rectangles on top of the tan background rectangle to create perfect star points. Just stitch about an 1/8" from the bias edges of the triangles for the star center & star point units. Piecing is totally simplified with fewer seams, less pressing and less chance of distorting your base block. That means a more square block and more perfectly pieced paisley quilt! |
To win a Perfectly Paisley pattern & Paisley Park Layer Cake, comment here on the layered patchwork technique - thumbs up, thumbs down, want to try it. I'm eager to hear your thoughts.
Moda's Designer Blog Hop starts tomorrow! Don't miss a single day of designer inspiration, new product previews and tons of giveaways! The first designers up are Janet Clare Designs, Kate Spain, and Thimbleblossoms. I'll be up on September 10th. See you then!
Beautiful quilt. I am anxious to try your new method.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric line, as always. I struggle with accuracy so would like to try your new method.
ReplyDeleteAfter studying you diagrams I think I'm starting to get it. Fabulous technique that I would love to try.
ReplyDeleteI think this is something I would like to try.
ReplyDeleteYour new technique looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWorking on a quilt now using your five and dime rulers and would love to learn this new technique!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That looks clever! Can hardly wait to try it.

Thumbs up! I "need" (and want) to try this new technique. I hate when I cut off the point of a star! Thank you for the chance to win the pattern and layer cake! HUGS... and stitches
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this technique before - I'm going to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! would like to try this technique.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am anxious to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteSure... I'll try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your great tip. Yes I will give this new technique a go. I love the new fabric range., can't wait for it to hit my local shop
ReplyDeleteThumbs up!!! I have your Loose Change book and ruler I can't wait for school to start to try it out. I looks quick, easy and perfect.
ReplyDeleteIf I understand this correctly, you're basically topstiching fabrics onto the rectangles? Interesting, but I'd be concerned about the fabric raveling if it's washed. But your quilt is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMaryBeth, Because all the cut edges are on the bias, there is no raveling. After washing, the bias edges curl and fray softly for a primitive, cozy effect. No loose threads all over your quilt!
DeleteYour technique looks interesting. I would have to try it to know if I like it! :-) I do love your quilts and fabrics. K-
ReplyDeleteI have finished two projects using your layered technique and I think it is great! I especially like the more rustic element it gives the quilts. So perfect for our casual country home. I am looking forward to the new fabric and would absolutely love to win. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnother 'Have to have' range!!! great new tips and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have completed one layered quilt already and I love it. I can't wait to get ahold of the new fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is beautiful! I' would absolutely love to try your layered patchwork method!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric; would be ecstatic to try your star layered patchwork method. The design is phenomenal - thanks for giving us a peak and would love to win the pattern and layer cake.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until the paisley fabric line comes in and I love stars, so I'm anxious to try this new technique! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with layered patchwork except that I am compelled to save the little triangles I trim out. That's fine because I love to make scrappy quilts with little pieces however, the rate at which I produce these little guys far exceeds my ability to use them. That's why I have drawers and drawers of little pieces...I will use them one day.
ReplyDeleteLove the layered patchwork options!
ReplyDeleteLove your colors!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is lovely and not cutting off points would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics and I'm intrigued with this method. I would give it a try. Thanks
ReplyDeletewould love to see this new method in person. Hope to get to a quilt shop soon, and also get to see this new line.Looks like "Me"
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful pattern and looks complicated. But I'm sure the new method will be a winner! thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern and the layered patchwork. This would be a wonderful project to work on with my 10 year old, points without added stress would be nice for her.

ReplyDeleteI really love this method. I took one of your classes a year ago last summer and found it easy to do and successful. I did your pattern in flannel and had no trouble at all. Love the new line and the pattern on this post
ReplyDeleteI would definitely try the technique.

ReplyDeleteI want to try! Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this technique. Makes a great design.(My email is bethdaniels@cox.net)
ReplyDeleteI own Loose Change and 2 of your rulers. I just love this technique it is so easy. Love that there is no learning curve whatsoever!! My kind of quilting!! sandybailey55@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the technique, but I need to use it more. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI was challenged to make a quilt for each grandchild. At the time, I had 25. I've been learning as I didn't know how to piece and quilt. There are 57 grandchildren now and I am about 18 behind. The tutorial on Missouri Star using the Loose Change pattern was a real eye opener as finding a way to do a good piecing job quickly is a priority. The Loose Change ruler was purchased and is scheduled for my next quilt. Your method is a lifesaver to me. Thank you. LOVE paisleys.
ReplyDeleteI think this is GREAT ! I would really like to try this technique in my next quilt. You have great ideas, keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI give it a thumbs up and can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteI give it a thumbs up, looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteI learned your Layered Patchwork Technique when you visited my guild last month. I finished my blocks at a retreat and am ready to start putting it all together. I love your method and your humor!
ReplyDeleteNeat trick to get these points so perfect! Love to try this!
ReplyDeleteNow, if I just had that fabric. . . . . . . . . . .
I love your new quilt and all the rich colors of your fabric. You are so brilliant with quick quilting ideas! I give it a big thumbs up. I would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteIs that paper pieced or just regular piecing? Its beautiful
