Today I'm cutting strips for a big batch of Pumpkin Patched blocks using a ruler that's made this so much faster.
I'm getting ready to sew a whole stack of these!

While you're there, they've also got some really pretty fall mini charm packs worth a look.

I want to show you how I web piece my quilt squares â this is such a fast, foolproof way to keep a big scrappy block organized from cutting table to sewing machine.
In this tutorial I'm using my Pumpkin Patched block as the example, walking through exactly how I label my columns, chain piece them together without losing my place, and press everything so the seams nest perfectly.
In this video you'll see: How I letter/number my columns so I never lose track of orientation
How to chain piece column by column without cutting your threads in between, so the whole block stays connected as one "web"
How I press alternating rows so the seams nest when it's time to join them
Where I place my low-volume vs. busier fabrics to keep the pumpkin shape reading clearly
My plans for turning this block into a lap quilt (or maybe a table runner â we'll see!)
