Can you really make a quilt top in an hour? YES!
HOW? One-hour quilt tops use border prints, large stripes or strip sets to create the design for you. Make a few simple cuts (sometimes you even tear the fabric - just snip, grip and rip!), then rearrange the pieces, and reassemble them with a few seams. If you want to be more creative, you can start with a strip set using your own unique combination of fabrics. This takes a bit more time to set up, but once the strip set is made, you can finish the quilt top in - yes - about an hour. One-hour quilt tops are fast, easy, beautiful and fun! The 1-Hour Quilt Top will take you step-by-step through the process, from selecting fabric to binding. The 1-Hour Quilt Top helps youMake a beautiful quilt - or a lot of quilts - fast!
