Block Demo & Strip Piecing Techniques | FLOSSIE QUILT ALONG | Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of the Flossie Quilt Along! This week, we’re diving into the heart of the quilt with our block demo.

Join me as I walk you through the entire process, from strip piecing (a technique where you sew fabric strips together to create a larger piece) to cutting your blocks to the perfect size.

We’ll also cover crucial techniques like pressing your blocks correctly, ensuring your seam allowances are accurate, and tips for getting every detail right. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned quilter, this tutorial is packed with valuable insights to help you create flawless quilt blocks. Let’s get started!🧵 ✂️
