How to Make a Folded Quilt Block

You can add a Folded Quilt Block into any Quilt pattern. See how easy it is:)

[@nanashouse202]

Me too. I love that block. First saw it in a restaurant. A lady was hand stitching the opening down. (That is when sewing machines were a no no in quilting) I commented on how beautiful it was . She was so nice as to give me her name and address, so I could come by and she would show me how to piece it.Never made one. Before my busy life with home , job, and children she had passed on . She will be remembered by me untill I’m gone. I think I will try your method. If I get it made I’ll post here. And thank you so much.

[@marionbartley214]

This is by far the easiest Cathedral window block. That I've seen so far, you've taken all the extra steps out. Of all the other videos, thank you for this video.

[@nelliejones6779]

[@chaklet1ct]

I just found this tutorial. What a gorgeous block and great instructions. Thank you for sharing.

[@honibear6478]

Oh my gosh! My 2nd quilt used that design technique...I’d completely forgot about it, mine didn’t have such a dramatic look but it really does make your quilt look stunning when you have the right color and fabric.

[@needle_nut7501]

Beautiful concept. I have always loved this look. My quilt head been done years and years ago by my Grandmother. Of course they pieced meticulously back then. This technique you show is gorgeous and appreciated. Thank you, Cheryl

[@SewVeryEasy]

I do love the old fashion quilt but this is fun too:)

Sew cute Laura, thank you! I believe this is a concept used in the Mexican Star Quilt, but your great tutorial has created lots of different options for decorating!

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

I love the quilt on the wall

[@debmoroni1868]

As always Laura, just perfect!!! I see I'm very late to the party since this was posted years age. But I just started quilting last year :) This is an awesome way to make the Cathedral pattern. I made a quick bed runner and just love it. I did find that of all my needles they all seem to be just too thick for this project. So, I opted for using a glue stick. It worked like a gem and made even quicker work of it. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents :)

[@wendyhansen3223]

This is such a great tip. Thanks for all your tutorials and tips. You are my go to expert when I need to figure things out. Thanks again😄

Wow! I love all of your sewing tutorials.You make it look so easy. I wish I had all of your sewing knowledge.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thanks :)

[@ruthptb]

Very nice Laura. The first thing that struck me was how many different sizes you could make with this block to get an almost infinite block pattern. But, the best way I will use it after using it as a quilting block will be to adjust my batting and let it be a potholder. This block is a close runner-up to your cute potholder! Thank you for all your tips and tutorials?!

[@SewVeryEasy]

You know, you are right a pot holder would be nice...hummmmm

[@tinajohnson9631]

Very creative😌. Easily made big cathedral windows are a thumbs up in my book👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

if you were going to use just the 4 Fabrics how much fabric would you need or how many charm packs say to make a small lap quilt or throat

[@jodunlap2955]

Oh my gosh...I LOVE this. I wonder if a beginner could do this and make it look decent??? I am going to try it anyway, so here goes.

[@SewVeryEasy]

[@rasminibudiman6801]

Saya sangat suka dengan karya dr kain perca yg tdk berguna menjadi sesuatu yg sangat indah...bagus sekali

[@conniemoore8809]

I like this method but what a backing? Would it be good to add and additional square to finish the back?

[@SewVeryEasy]

I would add a backing

[@traciweisenberger3841]

I know this was posted a while ago and I am hoping I get an answer but can you make a whole blanket out of this pattern? Would you just sew more blocks together? Make a bunch of sets of 4 and then sew them together? And do you quilt it or do you leave it like you do the cathedral window with no quilt batting? Thanks a bunch for your great tutorial I love this!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I would batt it and yes you can make it as big as you would like :)

[@susansteinhaus8533]

Thank you Laura for the Folded Quilt Block demo. I was looking for that very block when I came across your webpage. I am making my little nice a quilt with these kind of blocks. I also would like to make small pockets with a zipper in them . would I be able to do that?

[@SewVeryEasy]

You could put the zippers on the folds...how fun! Now I want to try that :):):)

[@lindamattson6281]

Love this tutorial. Can you tell what the quilt in the background is called? I love it. Thank you for your weekly tutorials. I look forward to them.

[@MaryBarker-tt2gz]

I think this may be a dumb question and apologise if so. I love this idea, thank you but can't work out how you join the blocks together first before stitching around the outside of the four. Do you whip them together by hand? Thanks and good wishes from New Zealand.

[@olivegobin1584]

Could you show how to make a Arrowhead Black please. Thank you!

[@annettehillison5255]

Just wondering when she sewed the 4 blocks together what's the back look like ? Is that where the seams are ? And if so you'll have to add a backing ?

[@mkfurr60]

I have the perfect charm pack to do this project. I am going to do the diagnal

[@SewVeryEasy]

Great and please send pictures:-)

[@gmays3003]

awesome!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks:)

[@tracyseppala7352]

Do you have any video on other folded quilt blocks ? Square with curved frames?

[@Saucyakld]

So how do you make them? No idea!

[@tiptop8302]

Lovely but how do I sew the block of four to the border, as it already has a 1/4" seam. Confused about how you get beyond this block.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks for asking. As this was just to show how to make the block, I can see what you mean. The idea is that you can use one or as many blocks as you want to replace something already in the pattern to make you own design. You will need to be sure to leave a 1/4" seam so that it can be used just like any other block. Hope this helps.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks:)

[@gildagarbuttwyer4534]

Hello , now I know I’m going to make a fool of myself because I just watch but how do you sew them together if you join them will that make the seam to thick ,it’s lovely by the way and I hope you don’t mind me asking .

[@SewVeryEasy]

I don't mind you asking at all :-) And yes the seams do end up very thick and bulky. This video was more of teaching the technique on how you can add it in your own quilts. However when making these blocks I do recommend not necessarily putting them together but spacing them so you have a plain block in between. This helps keep the seams not so bulky. And you can do some amazing designs this way. Thanks for asking and don't hesitate to ask. I really enjoy hearing from everyone :-)

[@SallyMayBaby]

Ugh, I am not getting how to sew the 4 squares together. I see you have sewn around the edge, but when and how did you sew the 4 squares to each other?

[@SewVeryEasy]

I just did a row of stitching around the edges just to show you the corners. You will treat the squares the same as any other square...the difference is that the pins will hold the folded fabric on as you sew. hope this helps
