Topic: Half-Size Measurements (26/37) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	I'm using leave-in stabilizer...has adhesive on one side..there are several brands...alittle glue stick to hold in place... then iron down ...I used Stabile Stuff a time or two and used glue stick sparingly to stick down the edges...works well for me..and no removal ! I run them thru the printer and cut out BTW.

Wendy,
I first used this method,until I bought a Glue Pen (but I find it's a pain to remove the templates)

katisquilting.blogspot.ca/2012/05/making-hexies-tutorial.html

I might give this one a try (it looks like there is not too much glue, but I wonder how the points will look.):

If you use Mylar template, you might want to try this one (I know I will, I wonder if I could still use this method with paper template):

Well done keeping up. I shall look forward to seeing it.

These hexagons are really doing my head in not helped by the fact I'm using fine thread I can barely see. First set of six I used glue to stick edges to back then sewed together with loads of ironing but they were hard to get out. Now I'm using paper and tacking through in the traditional way. I tried just tacking the folds at the back but I just couldn't get the edges good. How did you do yours?

I have been working on my April section. I was not happy with having to figure out the fence portion. So I cut the border full size and made my own applique gates. Similar in style to what Lynette has done.

So far so good, will post pictures once its done. I have prepped all my applique pieces and just now starting to sew them down.

I love that we can take her suggestions and each make it our own.

I'm getting going again but only on Feb instructions

I'm sewing the little border square strips and they are scrumptious I could eat them. Such tiny pieces of fabric sewn together.

I found that 33 fit the side of the block not 34. Guess I'm not as accurate as I thought but I'm pleased my sewing machine with 9mm plate let me sew a line of stabilising stitches less than 1/8" from edge without chewing it up. I love Ingrid
