During her career as a software engineer, Marci Baker solved difficult mathematical problems. When she became a stay-at-home mom, she turned to solving another problem involving precision and speed: “How do you make a traditional quilt in one-tenth the time?”
Along the way she discovered a sewing machine that appeals to both her quilting and her engineering sides.
A lifelong sewing enthusiast, Baker had not had much quilting experience. But looking for a creative outlet, she decided to focus on the craft and soon discovered that using the systematic approach of an engineer she could make the time-consuming process of cutting and sewing go much more quickly.
Baker developed a method based on “strip piecing,” eliminating the need to measure and sew together every small piece of fabric in a quilt top. Instead, strips of fabric are sewn together, cut diagonally, and then pieced together in a pattern. Using Baker’s method, a traditional quilt that would normally take about 50 hours to complete can be pieced together in as little as five hours.
