I've been working on a new (to me) technique with very little cutting. It's called fold and sew (check out Fold and Sew National Quilters Circle on youtube) and was created to use layer cakes and charm squares. Essentially what you are supposed to do is lay a charm in the middle of a layer. Fold the layer over the charm on one side, sew a quarter inch seam, do the same for the opposite. Next you do the remaining two sides. But, I can never leave anything the same, so I changed it up. I used 2 colors of yardage, cut in 10-in. squares and some smaller rectangles/squares from each color. From the pictures you can see that I flipped between large orange squares and large blue squares.
For the solid orange inner areas I did a pebble quilt fill, my first on my DSM (sadly the long arm is still packed), the other areas are just channel quilted. Hopefully some baby will wear it out so I can make him/her another one!
