This is a superb way to use up some of your leftover fabric from previous projects.
The pop in of thread you use is important too.
Laura recommends Superior Thread called Masterpiece.

Its very thin, but its 100% cotton.
You also need to use a special batting with aluminum in it.
She cuts 6- 8 squares of fabric and 1- 8 square of batting.
you’re able to use two different contrasting fabric designs of your choice.
She takes 4 of the 8 squares and presses them at an angle.
Then she sews around the edges, just a 1/8 just to hold the layers together.
