What does Stripologized mean?

Quilting is a craft that combines creativity and precision, and at GE Designs, we love making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. That’s why Gudrun Erla has taken classic quilt blocks and Stripologized them—simplifying the process using Stripology rulers and techniques to make cutting and piecing faster, more accurate, and more fun.

This ongoing video series on our YouTube channel walks you through transforming traditional blocks into Stripologized masterpieces with step-by-step guidance. This blog will serve as an evolving resource, updating with each new Stripologized Block release.

Why Stripologize the blocks?

Many quilters struggle with:

• Cutting accuracy leading to mismatched seams

• Time-consuming piecing that slows down progress

• Wasted fabric from inefficient cutting techniques

With the Stripology method, these common struggles disappear! By leveraging Gudrun’s expertise and Stripology rulers, you can:

1. Cut strips and squares with speed and precision

2. Reduce the number of seams for a cleaner finish

3. Save fabric and reduce waste

4. Spend more time enjoying the quilting process

Each tutorial in this series takes a classic quilt block and adapts it with Stripology rulers and tools, making it faster and easier to assemble.
