                                          Blocks                                         

             "Blocks" are a shortcut way to piece traditional quilt blocks.

                    First sew  swatches of fabric together and then cut out a square or "Block"

         The Cut Down Method - a shortcut to making quick "blocks"

          If making blocks -- sew fabric together and then cut down to the size you want

              If  adding borders -- sew on border fabric then cut the border to the desired size

                   Traditionally quilt blocks are made by cutting out fabric shapes -squares/triangles/etc.

                 and then  sewing them into quilt blocks which are then sewn into quilts. This method is so much easier!
