WIP WEDNESDAY

We are not quite back to normal around here after Hurricane Helene came through last week. Enjoy this pre-recorded BONUS video lesson from one of our Quilt Clubs on how to piece a quilt top using the spider web method.
We plan to be back next week with our regularly scheduled live show!
In this video Vanessa shares a fast way to piece your quilt tops! This technique is often called the spider web method and makes piecing a quilt top so much more enjoyable and faster than the traditional method of grabbing one block at a time!
The demo explains how to layout your quilt top design and arrange the units for piecing accurately and quickly! Once you get it you will never piece your quilt tops using any other method! It’s a game changer, for sure!

Always fun to create with Vanessa!
What do you have on the wall to hold the squares?

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Just a piece of quilt batting push pinned into the drywall.

Hi Vanessa, I was wondering, can the third and 4th columns be sewn as the first two are?, then join the 2

[@TheCraftyGemini]

@@lovingYaYa006 absolutely! That goes even faster when you have many columns
