There’s a new game in town.

People are re-creating quilt blocks with open edges that give a 3D effect. If you wonder what I am talking about here is a link to one that uses 3D Flying Geese. https://quilters-candy-box.myshopify.com/products/front-porch-pdf Cool, right? It is a beautiful quilt.

And over the weekend I saw another using pinwheel blocks. Apparently this technique has been around for a while but it hasn’t stuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WTbcliT8_E

Why, you wonder?

Because you are going to pay your longarmer for a custom quilt job instead of paying for an E2E which could easily be twice as much. And then, if you are quilting everything down, what is the point?

Here are my thoughts.
