In the afternoon I attempted to re-do my attempt at a tetris quilt. Unlike some quilt designs a Tetris quilt isn't very forgiving when it comes to seams lining up and I wasn't happy with what I had done. So I unpicked my 2.5 inch squares and I thought I would try the technique that Elizabeth from Oh Fransson used with her postage stamp quilt.
Using a pen, I ruled out a cube on a piece of iron on interfacing The cube was 6 x6 with each square being 2.5 inches in width and height. Pinned down the bits of fabric and then once I got the design right, pressed them onto the interfacing.
Then I ironed each seam, sewed it and voila! Instant Tetris quilt block within an hour. This block will turn into a pillow and I am thinking of getting some soluble interfacing so that I can use this technique to make a baby quilt with.
What do you think?

This is great Margaret. It's so much fun watching something come together.
Very clever!
Surely going to be a geek favourite! :)
You already know I think it's great.
I'd be very interested in seeing how it works out with water soluble interfacing, keep us updated!
