When making your own tile inspired quilt Cheryl has a few tips from her book !Quilt Fiesta! that will help you along the way.

  • Clear gallon-sized food storage bags from the dollar store are usually free of any printing.  They are perfect to use as placement guides as well as storage for pattern pieces.
  • Use a Teflon applique sheet or parchment paper on top of your block before pressing.  This will prevent gunk from adhering to your iron.
  • A staple remover is a handy tool for getting rid of the staples after your patterns have been prepared.
  • Parchment paper, intended for nonstick backing and cooking, does not have a silicone coating.  It will not melt under an iron.  Use parchment paper as a placement guide when when building an fusible applique block such as a the Pinwheel Pinata Bedrunner block (above) featured in !Quilt Fiesta!
