    Yes this is kinda like PP you take a strip of fabric and fold it in half then sew it to a foundation fabric . It can be a log cabin pattern or a pineapple pattern. since its doubled you don't need batting

    I made one years ago. It weighs a ton from all the fabric. I could never use it on a bed. Fortunately my cousin loves it, so she's going to get it for Christmas!
    If anyone is interested, I'll drag it out and post a picture.

    I'd love to see it. I'm more of a visual person & can't seem to wrap my head around this one!!! Please show me a pic!

    I don't understand what they are selling, but I have folded blocks to show. Let me go get them. I'll be right back.

    It's light material (like a batiste) with a pattern printed on it. You sew your fabric on, then fold it in half and sew the next row on. Here is one I did years ago.
