I’ll keep you posted of my progress throughout the year.Today I’m excited to share a sneak peek of a several designs included in my upcoming book, 99 Machine Quilting Designs. I think they’re such an efficient use of scraps and sewing time. Have you tried leaders and enders? Some people call them thread savers, others call them starters and stoppers. Fourth of July Scrap quilt by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville Mine will definitely be scrappier, but I love the diagonal design that comes from the alternate squares. I really like this idea from Bonnie Hunter (of course). I wonder how long it will take me to make enough 4-patches for a quilt? And what quilt will I make? I just ordered More Adventures with Leaders and Enders by Bonnie Hunter to give me some ideas for what to do with all of my piles of patches (I’m optimistic). After doing this for a week, I already have a nice little pile of 2-squares and seven 4-patches. Then I stitch 1/4″ seam as I lead into my regular piecing or end my piecing onto an ender.Įventually, I end up with a pile of 2-squares that I will then sew together into a 4-patch (again using them as leaders and enders). Now, I keep them in a little container next to my sewing machine and when I’m ready, I pick one from each pile and match them right sides together. I would reuse that same scrap until it was full and then toss it.įor the past year or so, I have been cutting fabric scraps into 2 1/2″ squares. In the past, I used a folded scrap of fabric (binding scraps are perfect) for the leader/ender. You can read an in-depth explanation that she wrote about leaders and enders here. She has written books and patterns using this technique. The queen of leaders and enders is Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.
