How to Make a Textured Quit Block with Pleats
Make a wow statement in your next holiday quilt with this unique method from Sew Lux Fabric. These pleats add an entirely different dimension to a simple tree pattern.
In this tutorial there are detailed step-by-step photos to help you with the pleating. It is not a technique that an absolute beginner will want to try, but if you have some experience then give it a try. It is more involved and some special supplies are needed.
Other than that, the directions are clear and easy to follow so you should not have any problems with assembly.
I think that this is a great method for a wall quilt. The pleats won’t get disturbed hanging on the wall.
