Continuous Bias Binding - Quick Tip (VIDEO)

While visiting my friend Rob on the set of Man Sewing we did a quick tip tutorial on how to make continuous bias binding from a square of fabric.

Note - to get the lines to match up perfectly on the second seam, make sure the marked lines will match at the seam.

Watercolor Heart Block Tutorial

I love to add a little bit of patchwork to our home every chance I get. I had been admiring some contemporary watercolor quilts, also referred to as color washing. My style frequently combines a little something classic with a little something modern and for this project I had the idea to use only one modern print and one solid to create a flowering heart pillow.

I had the perfect print in mind from my Madrona Road collection. Look for areas of loose or solid background when selecting a print to work with. Then select a solid closely matched to the background color. For my example I chose Wild Carrot from my Madrona Road collection matched with white background.
