Shakespeare wrote, "the whirligig of time brings in his revenges." In other words, you reap what you sow (or sew), so make each stitch sweet!
This week, Jenny Doan is using precut layer cake squares to create a simple star block with a whirligig center. Her fabric is Painterly Petals Meadow by Studio RK for Robert Kaufman, with a pretty white-on-white background of Quilt Town Tossed Missouri Stars.
We'll square each block to perfection as Jenny and Natalie do side-by-side demonstrations of our favorite tools: the Bloc Loc and the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer.

    I've been sewing for 70years & am very confident in my skills. However, occasionally I really enjoy watching others sew. Different methods etc can only help my skill grow. You and your girls are truly expert & I've picked up several tricks I'd not known before. Thanks!

    I have been sewing for over 60 years but, I have only started quilting 30 years ago. I have been sporadic about it but no that I'm retired I have been more consistently piecing tops and machine quilting some of the lap quilts. You make them all look so easy to do. I haven't tried the double wedding ring or Dresden plate types yet or any stars. I guess I just have to decide to make them. Next is Jacob's ladder. I watched you and the triple play. I can do it. Thanks for the encouragement.
