Welcome back to the Mx Domestic sewing room!

In this video I walk through my experience making the Elena Quilt pattern by Kitchen Table Quilting using the beautiful Flora & Form fabric collection by Kate Leach for Windham Fabrics.

This is not a tutorial for the pattern itself. I fully support pattern designers and encourage you to purchase the pattern directly. Instead, I share the tips, tricks, and techniques that helped me successfully navigate this quilt — from half square triangles to seam nesting, chain piecing, and keeping those lattice intersections crisp.

If you’re thinking about making the Elena Quilt, these insights will help make the process smoother and more enjoyable.

✨ In this video you’ll learn:
• My method for making accurate half square triangles
• Why chain piecing was the hero technique for this quilt
• How to nest seams for crisp intersections
• A glue basting trick for perfect lattice alignment
• What I would do differently if I made this quilt again

This quilt was made using Flora & Form by Kate Leach, and I also share another version made with On Your Mark by Seth Apter so you can see how versatile this pattern really is.
