I made the table runner shown in first video. Was a quick and fun project. Did not have the pattern, did it by watching. Had some pinked candies and the others I cut 2.5. I have washed it twice and it seems to be holding well.

I made the first quilt that they made in this manner I can't remember if the name of it was nickel and dime but I didn't have any real problem with it after being washed only that the edges ravel a bit but that is the charm of it. I even did it in the Kansas Troubles fabrics it went to a home that is primitive style so fits right in.

Thank you for the links. I'm not sure I will try 2 packs of hexagons are expensive to try a project. Surely a laser cut only does the extreme edge and will wash out or iron out. Is it just a honey comb with another ruler.

The quilt on my avatar is made using this method. I gave it to my DD and she and her cats love it. Needless to say, it gets washed often--no problems with the top pieces holding on. They do fray slightly, but that adds to the charm IMHO.

Here's the link. I'm really puzzled about the comment that laser cut pieces won't ravel. Just applying heat to cotton isn't going to fuse the edges. I'm wondering if something is applied, although the descriptions say 100% cotton.

Jenny has a new video up with Lynne Hagmeier called "Kira's Kickin" It Quilt using raw edge hexagons to layer a quilt top. She has done a couple of videos doing this method of laying patches on top of a background fabric to create patterns. I can't see myself doing this method so what am I missing? Has anyone done a quilt using this method and how does it look after repeated washing?
