I have been quilting and sewing for a long time, more than 40 years. Over these years many techniques have come and gone. Some are gone for good as better tools and techniques create more accurate results. But there are some techniques that have stood the test of time. I have also found that there are several ways to create the same quilt design. Often one way is a very traditional, but not a quick technique. The other method is quick and easy. But both are important to build your skills as a quilt maker.
