Tutorial: Pretty points pieced block

Anjeanette Klinder shares on her blog the secret to sewing what she calls ‘pretty points’ in a quilt block. Hint: she uses lots of pins – but her explanation and photos on just how to pin for no slippage – is a must-see. After completing this block she declares to her pupils:

Let’s admire our points. Practically Perfect. I call this good enough.

I call her tutorial admirable and her attitude towards unrealistic exceptions of piecing perfection, incredibly healthy. Put this method in your repertoire, get the know-how.

We often get asked about quilt blocks and what can be made with them other than quilts, here is a list of ideas for other ways to use these Christmas tree quilt blocks.

Quilt blocks are versatile elements in quilting, and there are various creative ways to use them. Here are some ideas:

Cushion Covers: Individual quilt blocks can be turned into decorative cushion covers. Sewing a few quilt blocks together and adding backing fabric can transform them into stylish and coordinated cushions for your home.

Table Runners: Use quilt blocks to make vibrant and thematic table runners. Arrange the blocks in a linear pattern to create a centerpiece for your dining or coffee table.

Wall Hangings: Frame or hang individual quilt blocks or a series of them as wall art. This allows you to showcase your quilting skills and add a touch of handmade charm to your home decor.

Bags and Totes: Incorporate quilt blocks into the design of bags, totes, or purses. It’s a great way to carry your quilting skills with you and make a unique fashion statement.

Clothing: Transform quilt blocks into appliques for clothing items. This could include embellishing jeans, jackets, or even creating patchwork skirts or dresses.

Pot Holders and Coasters: Quilt blocks can be repurposed into functional items like pot holders or coasters. Add a layer of heat-resistant batting between the blocks and backing fabric for pot holders.

Quilted Accessories: Make quilted accessories like scarves, headbands, or even quilted mittens by incorporating smaller quilt blocks.

Gift Wrapping: Use smaller quilt blocks as decorative elements for gift wrapping. Attach them to gift bags or boxes to add a personalized touch.

Memory Quilts: Turn quilt blocks into a meaningful memory quilt by incorporating fabric from old clothing, special events, or other sentimental items.

Experiment with different patterns, colors, and sizes to discover endless possibilities for using quilt blocks in your creative projects.
