Herringbone is one of my favorite quilts in the book because it is a very easy quilt pattern but it looks a lot more complicated than it actually is. The top is made almost entirely by strip piecing, so it also goes really fast.
In this video I show you how to cut corners out of your strips so you can piece them in an offset way to maximize the use of your fabric. We also talk about how to sew the offset strip sets together so you can get straight vertical rows and I show you how I pinned so that every point came together just right.
The original Shell Rummel Quiet Moments fabric is no longer available, so I used the next best thing, Shell Rummel's latest line Rhythm. The fabrics have a similar tone as the original and look just as lovely. We have a limited supply of kits while supplies last. Check out the links below to grab one.
Make sure you watch to the end of the video to see some bloopers!
This tutorial is meant to be a supplemental guide for people who are visual learners and want to see the quilt being assembled in addition to reading the instructions and assembly diagrams in the book. All of the cutting instructions, yardage requirements and everything else you need to make this pattern are included in "Simple Quilt for the Modern Home".
