Seminole piecing

Seminole piecing is I think one of the few techniques devised for a machine from the beginning.  The Seminole Indians in Florida's Everglades used this technique for clothing but it can be used on quilts, cushions, bags, belts.  It is a strip piecing technique whereby the pattern is gained by judicious cutting. Here is a tutorial http://sewwellmaide.com.au/2012/09/tutorial-seminole-piecing.html and  a you tube video showing one possibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEnTtX3sEnM

Rosemary is very good at these little quilts.  The quilting around the hearts really makes them puff up and gives a lovely design on the back as well




Wendy's completed ginham quilt - so pretty......
