Quilt Fuse

This is just a reprint of an email I sent you all on Thursday.  I wanted to post it to the blog so that it would be easy to find for future reference.

 There were a few interesting finds from the Heron's Nest donated stash, such as 4 meters of Quilt Fuse.  It looks like it is 45" wide (or more) and similar to a very fine non woven fusible interfacing with a 2" grid printed on it.  It always seemed like an easy way to sew little squares together without having to match the corners.  I had never considered that you could make a variety of quilt blocks in this manner.  For example, The two different blocks in Nancy's quilt could be made with Quilt-Fuse and no need to match corners until you sew all the blocks together, but since the product is 45" wide by almost any length you choose to work with, a quilt that is 90 x 90 could possibly be made with only two horizontal seams and two vertical seams to match.  I know I've probably lost you all, already, but when you watch this really short video you might see what I am talking about.

  I outlined the two blocks.  If you manage to get through the whole 5 minute video, at minute 4:05 you will see the product used for a really good idea for an I Spy border.  You could make it with bright coloured plain prints as shown in the video or with 2" squares of small print I Spy fabrics separated by a solid border from the inner part of the quilt top.
