How to Make Counted Quilts

The Counted Quilts quilt patterns created by Lisa Muilenberg are a quick and easy way to make an adorable character quilt without appliqué or panels. Only straight cutting and straight seams!

Counted Quilts have a unique construction technique. They really are as easy as 1, 2, 3. 

First, rotary cut the given fabric yardage into 1-3 sizes of strips for each color. Second, cross cut those strips into the given number of pieces. These will be alphabetically labeled and set aside. Third follow the full page color labeled image to sew the pieces together piece by piece, row by row. It is really fun to watch the image emerge line by line, like putting a puzzle together.

Below is a collection of videos to give you an idea of how these adorable patterns are constructed.
