Sew Together Tuesday: How to Make a Cuddle® Patchwork Floor Pillow

Written by Teresa | Nov 9, 2023 11:36:00 PM

Have you been curious about making a Cuddle quilt, but didn’t think it was possible? Well, it is and we’re excited to introduce our fans to a new product that will make piecing beautiful quilts with Cuddle® minky easy! Join us to learn more about the Block Barn Designs printed interfacing and patterns when National Educator Teresa Coates shares her most recent project. She’ll show you how to make a patchwork floor pillow and share all the variety available. You’ll be surprised to learn how do-able it is.  

Teresa will be joined by special guest and product designer, Tayva Singer, to share her insights and pro tips on using the interfacing ad patterns for the very best results! 
 
This technique is fabulous for scrap quilts, so if you’ve been saving your Cuddle® scraps, you’ll just want to find the ones that are at least 10” square and Teresa will show you how to take it from there! She’ll be demonstrating with The Lake House Pillow pattern, but the technique is usable in endless combinations!
