Paula Doll - Square in a Square
Click here for more info on the April Workshop with Paula Doll ~ Prairie Claw
This one hour lecture showcases many of the Square in a Square quilts Paula has made that illustrate the techniques of the system. The Square in a Square system is a fast and accurate way to make fantastic quilts without ever having to cut or sew triangles. Within the system are 39 different triangle units or options. Using these options, you can make half square triangles four at a time, flying geese two at a time, 60 degree diamond triangle units and much more. The resulting points are sharp, lie very flat and are easy to achieve. The technique provides the quilter with the ability to construct increasing complex patterns. This cutting system is so simple and accurate that quilters everywhere will be producing more quilts and enjoying it more! My journey into quilting (sprinkled with humorous off-road experiences) should entertain and inspire you!
