In this show Vanessa shares a fast way to piece your quilt blocks or 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!
Vanessa will demo the technique on a smaller scale with 2.5” squares so it’s easier to understand! Once you get it you will never piece your quilt tops using any other method! It’s a game changer, for sure!
