Origami Quilting
#1
Has anyone heard of origami quilting? I've heard of it and even done some using paper but with fabric?... to make a quilt block?
In our guild, every month we have a project block to complete for a "show and tell" at the next meeting and the topic or theme for the January meeting is origami. And how in the world am I going to make an origami chicken block??
As if the stress of Christmas wasn't enough........ :?

Just bought the book Fantastic Fabric Folding from Amazon. I've only had it about a week, so haven't done anything yet, but I plan on doing it as soon as I get some UFo's finished. It looks pretty fun, pretty and something I could do. I just have got to get some of my other stuff done before I try.

I have used some folded blocks in quilts. It is very important to cut the fabric square EXACT and it helps me when I starch the square. Where you can fold a small piece of paper, it requires a larger piece of fabric because the fabric is thicker and has more give. If you want to fold a chicken, just try it. Follow the same sequence as with the paper. When it gets tricky, I often hold the pattern together with pins til the next fold.
