Rotary cutting allows quilters to simultaneously cut several layers of fabric in the same shape and size, which ultimately allows them to complete higher quality projects in less time with less work. Not only does rotary cutting speed up quilt assembly, if done correctly it will most definitely enhance accuracy.
Frayed seams are a characteristic of rag quilts that give them a soft, vintage look. With rag quilt patterns, the seams are sewn to the top so they can be clipped and frayed.
Log cabin quilts are pieced quilts featuring blocks made of strips of fabric typically encircling a small centered square. The Log Cabin block generally uses three different colors. Traditionally the center square is red, symbolizing the hearth.
Sashiko refers to the Japanese quilting stitch. Meaning "little stabs," the stitches join together the layers of fabric and batt. Today, most sashiko is worked on a single layer of fabric much like embroidery, then layered and quilted by hand or machine. Traditional sashiko designs of repetitious waves, crosses, swastikas, diamonds, squares, and octagons are perfect background quilting motifs for Japanese quilts.
Hawaiian quilting is a distinctive quilting style originating in the Hawaiian Islands that uses large radially symmetric applique patterns. Motifs often include stylized botanical designs in bold colors on a white background; appliques are made from a single cut on folded fabric and quilting stitches normally follow the contours of the applique design.
