How to make a cheats pathcwork quilt - Laurens Top tips

Regular followers will know my sewing heart lies with making gorgeous garments for myself and (sometime!) my kids, but every now and again I like to dip into other types of sewing projects - as long as they are nice and easy and quick!
So when we had this beautiful ‘Good vibes’ collection of quilting cotton arrive from Dashwood studio I was inspired to make up a really easy and quick cheats patchwork quilt.
This type of design on fabric is becoming more popular and easier to find, we are expecting a new design later in the year as well, so in this tutorial I’ll show you how you can make a quilt and should you see a similar type of fabric in the future, you can use the same steps I’ve set out here to make a quilt again.
Follow this link to the corresponding blog post for a written tutorial including links to buy the fabric and supplies from my online shop!

Tip for non-quilters, always have your batting and backing fabric about 4 inches longer and wider than your top fabric since everything shifts a little - then trim before binding. This way you won’t run into the problem of not having an even front.

I use the invisible ladder stitch often,it is great for sewing closed pillows and stuffed animals.

Such a helpful video Thankyou. Never done an invisible ladder stitch but good to see it in action.
Could you machine sew the back of binding on if you didn’t want to hand sew? Thanks

Yeh you certainly could :)

This is great - I find it helpful to see a visual of what you mean so seeing you witht he fabric as you describe it is brilliant. :)
