Claim 13:
14. A method for quilting, comprising:
selecting a fabric to be quilted;
assembling a custom piece-together quilt template based on a relative weight of the fabric, the quilt template comprising:
(i) a first template sector having an outer edge, converging side edges, a sector point at a convergence of the side edges, and a planar body; and
(ii) a second template sector configured to reside adjacent the first template sector, and having an outer edge, converging side edges, a sector point at a convergence of the side edges, and a planar body;
using a marker, tracing the assembled quilt template onto the fabric along an outside perimeter of the quilt template, the tracing identifying a marked perimeter and marked inseams;
cutting the fabric along the marked perimeter and marked inseams to form a smaller fabric piece;
repeating the marking and cutting steps to create multiple identical fabric pieces, each fabric piece comprising a border and an inseam;
adding basting stitches at the border of each fabric piece, the basting stitches comprising thread trails at respective ends of the border;
sewing the multiple fabric pieces together along respective inseams;
shirring the assembled fabric pieces by pulling and tying off the thread trails, thereby creating a three-dimensional quilt patch; and
incorporating the three-dimensional quilt patch into a finished article.
