Today we had some great demo's of quick & easy ways to piecing.

Pat showed this simple Bow tie block with the 3-D center.

Below the center has been top-stitched down to create a different effect.

Kate B. showed us Anita's arrowhead block

& some fast half square triangles from the Missouri Star Quilt Company's tutorials
