crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Rosemary, I knew there was another way to do them, but I'm wondering how did you figure the measurements for squares, so you would end up with the final units you needed?

AnnieLu OFFLINE Posts: 768 Thank you received: 301	Rosemary, I thought about doing those same techniques. Then I decided that I would try sewing those bias edges and see how it would go. Turned out ok, but if I do this quilt again I'll do the shorter way. Thanks for actually showing the steps and giving the written explanations too. Very useful!! Luann PS. Love your fabric collection. Your quilt is going to be very nice.

AnnieLu OFFLINE Posts: 768 Thank you received: 301	Wendy, I have some other plans for the hand dyed groups. There's a special event coming up, that I may package and price them for. Time will tell. But I may just dye some up specifically for making this quilt again. Luann

Thank you received: 361

Here is my start to the mystery

As for my construction variations - for step 1 a I layered fabric 4 on top of fabric 2, drew a line corner to corner and then stitched 1/4" from the line on both sides.

I then cut corner to corner across the stitching lines

finally I cut along the drawn lines which gave me the pairs needed.

For step 1 b I layered fabric 1 and 5 on top of one another and stitched 1/4" around the outside edge

I then cut the two diagonals

and opened them and pressed (I've always wanted to try this method of hst's and it works great

)

Now I feel like carrying on with some more piecing, but supper needs cooking and Izzy needs a new school skirt sorting out (ie making) darn it.

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Lois - thanks for the good advice, I think you're right. A long-arm relationship will be costly! Gotta buy more fabrics for all those grands! Luann - mum's the word on your proposed pattern I can't wait to see others posting their projects so far.
