My First Quilt | Sara Gallegos | Runtime (10 min)


There are a few ways to cut out patches for a quilt. One of those ways it to use a rotary cutter with a template in order to cut out unusual shapes. The tumbler shape is much easier with the Fons & Porter Tumbler Template, and Sara demonstrates how to use this template to cut out the patches and sew them together in rows. Once the rows are made, Sara shows how to sew the rows together to make a one-patch quilt.
