1945quilter OFFLINE Posts: 6 Thank you received: 14	I use the "snow ball" method. Cut 4 2 inch background and 4 1.5 inch color and snowball one corner on each background. Then sew the four together and that block should be 3.5 inch square. I usually iron all my seams open to make the block nice and flat. Good luck. I like the results.

OlgaJo OFFLINE Posts: 32 Thank you received: 28	1945Quilter your quilt looks great. I love the string of pearls. If I didn't have most of my pinwheels done, I would steal your idea. I have 12 more curved flying geese to do. I am finally getting back into the groove. Too many other things going on.

pcarstens OFFLINE Posts: 8 Thank you received: 14	PBLBJL, I really like you square in a square border. Great idea. It's not nearly as busy as the pinwheels.

canamquilter OFFLINE Posts: 6 Thank you received: 8	I'd like to thank 1945quilter formher guidance on the 'square in a square' type blocks. The pinwheels almost did me in. They were all (and more) done but I just wasn't happy with my piecing. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it hasn't taken everyone else as many hours as it has taken me to get this far. Attachments: image.jpg (77KB)

Mlongstreth OFFLINE Posts: 39 Thank you received: 135	Hi dahlialady: yes i paper pieced. i needed to modify the templates slightly to make assembly possible I finished and didn't run in to any trouble with the different method.

PtboGrandma OFFLINE Posts: 56 Thank you received: 50	Anabeth - reading further, I realize you came up with the idea to use full triangles! All the same, thank you for sharing as I will copy that great idea. Heather Penwell

Mlongstreth OFFLINE Posts: 39 Thank you received: 135	Anabeth - thank you for the original idea. a few weeks back i was looking at your post then got to thinking how to do it with both big triangles/no seam. but i got half way thru the DMs before i got brave enough to attempt it. and i was not doing a very good job trying to connect the 6" squares. i found it goes much faster and looks better going with the big triangle/diagonal seam route.

Anabeth OFFLINE Posts: 40 Thank you received: 42	Mlongstreth -- glad to see that you're doing the same thing for the outer border. I didn't want to cut up my beautiful fabric to make two little triangles when one larger one would do.

Mlongstreth OFFLINE Posts: 39 Thank you received: 135	I didn't make them as 6 inch blocks. I assembled them on the diagonal like in the picture. Less seams that way. Worked great
